Malá Strana, right?

[edit]

Should Category:Malá Strana be added to this article? ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:29, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hardly any originals

[edit]

The linked source states: "Take a look through first editions of the majority of Kafka’s works, correspondence, diaries, manuscripts, photographs, drawings and studies from literary researchers." It does not state, all these exhibits are original. In fact the museum has only some original first editions of Kafka's books, but nothing more. All the exhibited documents are facsimiles from other collections. I'll change this in the entry.

From a museological perspective this "museum" is quite poor. A pity. --C.G. (talk) 20:15, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please clarify "exhibit" and "exhibition"

[edit]

An exhibit or an exhibition should not refer to an entire museum, except in the unlikely event that the museum contains only one exhibit, which is not the case with the Franz Kafka Museum. I suspect that English was not the first language of the editor or editors who wrote this article. They used "exhibit" to refer to the Piss sculpture; I changed it to "sculpture." Also, although "exhibit" and "exhibition" are interchangeable, it is confusing to switch back and forth between them, as is done in the History section and the Exhibition section, which should not be titled "Exhibition." The Exhibition section starts, "The exhibition," which should probably be "The museum." Then it states that the explanatory texts "are located on transparent surfaces with exhibits in the same color as the letters." The word "exhibits" here does not make sense.
