Plečnik House
About This Museum
You'd never guess that one of Europe's most influential architects lived in a house so profoundly humble and personal. Stepping into Jože Plečnik's home feels less like visiting a museum and more like he's just popped out to the market, leaving behind his wooden workbench scattered with tools and his iconic round glasses resting on a bedside table. The space is a living diary of his mind, filled with his own furniture designs, intricate architectural models, and thousands of sketches pinned to the walls. It’s an intimate, almost sacred glimpse into the creative process of the man who shaped Ljubljana.
Collection Highlights
His custom-made furniture, like the massive oak desk and chair, share the space with beautiful architectural models for projects like the National and University Library. Don't miss his personal effects—his glasses, tools, and countless drawings make his genius feel incredibly tangible.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away on a quiet street at Karunova 4, a short walk from the city center. Booking ahead online is a good idea as it's a small house with limited space.
Architecture & Building
A modest, two-story townhouse that Plečnik himself renovated with his signature blend of classical form and simple, almost rustic functionality.
