“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 and Prague his native Ljubljana would be his lifetime’s environment for his creative work.

Repurpose, Reinterpret:Tracing Spolia and Reuse in Plečnik’s Ljubljana
6. 2. 2026–10. 5. 2026
Plečnik’s urban projects reflect a unique blend of classical and modernist styles and shape the identity of today’s Ljubljana. His works are renowned for their innovative use of spoliation – the reuse of historical architectural elements or spolia, which he skilfully integrated into his architectural designs. Plečnik's use of spolia is highlighted in the exhibition and accompanying publication ‘Repurpose, Reinterpret: Tracing Spolia and Reuse in Plečnik’s Ljubljana’.

25. 9. 2025–25. 1. 2026
As part of this year’s project, inspired by Plečnik’s legacy and intertwined with contemporary art, we have invited the renowned Mexican artist Iñaki Bonillas and the internationally engaged Slovenian curator Tevž Logar to collaborate. The central theme of Bonillas’s intervention and exhibition is memory and its architectural reconstruction, through which we resist forgetting.

Architectural heritage is a dynamic entity that is constantly changing. It is not only buildings that transform, but also archival materials, which sporadically appear in different institutions or even in unexpected places; at times, the “missing parts” can be found on the guarded shelves of public archives.

21. 5. 2025–16. 4. 2026
After its successful presentation at the Plečnik House, the exhibition 'Master Woodcarver Maks Bergant and Plečnik: The Charm of Wood' moved to Kamnik – the town where Bergant spent most of his creative life. Its display at the Inter-municipal Museum Kamnik at Zaprice Castle is both a tribute to a local artist and an opportunity for visitors to discover a valuable heritage that was born in Kamnik yet transcended local boundaries.

Master woodcarver Maks Bergant (1912–1996) continued a long-standing tradition in which masters passed their knowledge through mentorships onto their apprentices and assistants. Though he honed his craft in Kamnik under the guidance of woodcarver Ivan Klemen, it was his collaboration with architect Jože Plečnik that profoundly shaped his artistic journey and left a lasting mark on his legacy.
