“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.

Hiša Plečnik House X Ana Sluga: Ginkgo biloba – prišlek
16. 10. 2026–24. 1. 2027
Z razstavo 'Ginkgo biloba – prišlek' v Plečnikovi hiši nadaljujemo niz projektov, v katerih k dialogu s Plečnikovo dediščino vabimo sodobne umetnike. Ti s svojimi avtorskimi pogledi vstopajo v prostore arhitektovega doma ter jih berejo na novo – skozi vprašanja in poglede našega časa.

Plečnik Awards 2026: Artefacts
26. 5. 2026–4. 10. 2026
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.
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’.
Hiša Plečnik House X Iñaki Bonillas: ARS MEMORIAE
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.
Hidden Fragments of Plečnik’s Legacy
Missing Parts
20. 6. 2025–14. 9. 2025
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.
The exhibition is on view at the Inter-municipal Museum Kamnik
Master Woodcarver Maks Bergant and Plečnik: The Charm of Wood
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.
