“A tower, a mule, me and the garden” – that is how Jože Plečnik imagined his life when he didn’t know yet that after Vienna ...
The exhibition marking the start of the exhibition year 2024 at Plečnik House presents the findings of Darja Pergovnik, MA, heritage conservator at the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia. Namely, her work has, for several years, been focused on studying and protecting Plečnik's built and green arrangements in Ljubljana.
Saša Dev, Plečnikov študent in arhitekt medvojnega Maribora, je eden izmed soustvarjalcev moderne arhitekture v Sloveniji. Njegova arhitekturna dela ostajajo aktualna, saj kot mlad ustvarjalec ni le sledil sodobnim trendom, temveč jih je v kontekstu odnosa do mestnega tkiva prehitel za več desetletij.

Plečnik House
Walking through Ljubljana it is impossible to ignore the abundance of arrangements and architectural creations made by the Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik. Born in Ljubljana, Plečnik learned his craft in Vienna and acquired a creative broadness of mind in Prague. He deftly implemented his skills as he returned to Ljubljana, where he created the phenomenon now called Plečnik’s Ljubljana. Many of his ideas were conceived in his home, a house in Trnovo, a monument of national importance since 2009 and today a public museum. You are kindly invited to visit the Plečnik House and learn about this modest man responsible for such monumental architecture. Enter the house in which Plečnik’s Ljubljana was created!
