“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 Vlasto Kopač: The Unwavering Humanist, first presented at the Plečnik House in 2023 on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the architect’s birth, is travelling to the Žiri Museum this year as part of the programme dedicated to the life and work of Vlasto Kopač.
For the fourth consecutive year, Plečnik House is hosting an exhibition of the recipients of the Plečnik Awards, Slovenia’s central national honours for outstanding achievements in architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture and interior design. The awards are granted for realised projects within the Republic of Slovenia, as well as for works in Slovene communities abroad that contribute to the enrichment of spatial culture.

Last night, the Jože Plečnik Fund presented the Plečnik Awards 2026 in the garden of Plečnik House, and one of the awards is coming to Plečnik House as well. The Plečnik Medal 2026 for the Enrichment of Spatial Culture was awarded to the book 'Plečnik’s Green Ljubljana', published by Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana - Plečnik House at the end of 2024 in collaboration with landscape architect Darja Pergovnik, M.A., of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia (IPCHS).
Over the past few months, architecture students at the prestigious Yale University in the United States have been exploring the work of Jože Plečnik in Ljubljana and have created the exhibition Pre–Mo–Po–Mo: Micro-Urbanism in Jože Plečnik’s Ljubljana.
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!
