KAVKA is a specialized bookstore and art gallery. We run an online store and a stone shop in the center of Prague. The books we offer here are mostly from the production of Czech or Slovak publishers, galleries and museums and they focus primarily to Czech and Slovak art, architecture and design and photography. Some books are not part of a wider book distribution that is why you can find it only in KAVKA bokstore . Part of our business offer includes antiquarian books on art, unique author's books, or rare bibliophiles. In addition to the books, KAVKA also offers original works of Czech authors, mostly 20th and 21st century. We focus our interest mainly on graphics and drawings, also due to the limited exhibition space. But often you will also find oil paintings or small sculptures. Several times a year, we host chamber exhibitions.
We are a team of art experts and we can assess works of art and books. Our goal is to encourage and rehabilitate the book and art culture. We believe that art, even in the form of beautiful books, is part of the national cultural heritage and should be part of everybody's life..

Get to know the people from Kavka
It might easily seem that KAVKA is all books, beautiful space, and big window displays in that great functionalist building. But it's mostly about these few people, they are Kavka. Without them, Kavka wouldn't be what it is - a place where you go to brouwse through the books and graphic prints, ask about artists you saw on an exhibition somewhere but don't remember the name of, if anything has been published about them and where you could get it. Sometimes you come to an opening, or to a book launch. And these few people always try to make your experience in Kavka worth your visit. Get to know them! We will introduce them to you one by one...

Autumn is a good season for books. Whether it's the cooler weather, the longer evenings, or the way life returns to its normal rhythm after the summer, in our bookstore it's manifested in one way: a busy programme. We invite you to several book events, meetings with authors and to the new bookstore. And we're also introducing a few new titles that will be out before the end of the year.
