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 which is a must-see when in town, as it literally is the house in which Plečnik’s Ljubljana was created. The permanent exhibition “Plečnik” in Plečnik House focuses focuses on the life and work of this great architect, while temporary exhibitions serve to present Plečnik’s works and display authentic artefacts from the Plečnik Collection, present the works of his collaborators and contemporaries, and establish Plečnik’s oeuvre as an inspiration for creativity in our times. Visits of the original Plečnik home are only possible with a guided tour that begins every full hour and is limited to seven persons. You can buy tickets online and book your timeslot via website mgml.si/en.
