Komplett Kafka at Goethe-Institut Glasgow
Visit the Goethe-Institut Glasgow, located at 3 Park Circus, to explore our building and public library, or simply to relax in our lounge. Our A-listed building is a remarkable example of mid-19th-century architecture, featuring a series of terraced Italianate townhouses arranged in a grand oval shape, which serves as the focal point of the Kelvingrove Park and Woodlands area. The interior boasts exceptional detailing. The adjacent mews along Park Terrace Lane and Park Circus Lane, situated behind the Park Circus terraces, are essential to the area’s planned design, contributing to the group’s broader architectural and historical significance. GDOD coincides with our Kafka exhibition : Kafka’s life and work, written and drawn by Nicolas Mahler. Franz Kafka not only wrote prose, he was also passionate about drawing. So what could be more fitting than to honour him with a comic biography by Nicolas Mahler to mark his anniversary? (Excerpt: suhrkamp.de) We are excited to welcome you! Free and open to all.
