“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 ...
FLAVOURS FROM THE PLEČNIK'S GARDEN
On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Jože Plečnik, Plečnik's House prepared a creative culinary competition Flavours from the Plečnik's Garden. We invite young people between the ages of 16 and 25 to create an innovative recipe for a dessert, inspired by local ingredients found in the garden of the Plečnik House.
The architect Jože Plečnik devoted part of his creative oeuvre to the design of monuments, the most numerous among them being commemoration plaques and monuments to the fallen in World War II. His work on them began on the initiative of Ferdo Kozak, the minister of culture at the time.
After five years, the Plečnik House and the DobraVaga Gallery are combining forces once again. The exhibition, opening in mid-May 2022 at the Plečnik House, will be a new opportunity for young artists.
The Plečnik Year 2022 exhibition cycle at the Plečnik House will conclude with an exhibition that offers an insight into the work, methods and curricula of Plečnik's School in Ljubljana.
The jubilee year at the Plečnik House will also be marked by two internationally renowned authors; Olaf Nicolai, a world-acclaimed German artist and professor, and Luca Lo Pinto, Artistic Director of Rome’s MACRO - Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome.

The Plečnik House’s programme for the jubilee Plečnik Year 2022, which marks the 150th anniversary of the architect’s birth, will connect the maestro’s oeuvre with cuisine, contemporary art, and youth creative practices.
After decades of living abroad, Jože Plečnik moved back to his home city of Ljubljana in autumn of 1921. The reason was his new position as professor at the newly established Department of Architecture at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Ljubljana. There he imbued his students with knowledge until the last months of his life.
Plečnik's selected works in Ljubljana are now part of the UNESCO World Heritage List!
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!
