Open air large-format exhibition of Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik, born in Ljubljana, dedicated to his work in Prague and other parts of the Czech Republic, is taking place in Ljubljana from October 26 till November 26, 2020.

The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Ljubljana, in cooperation with the Prague Castle Administration and the Office of the President of the Republic, is organizing a large-format open air exhibition featuring the work of Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik in the Czech Republic.

The exhibition is on display from October 26 till November 26, 2020 in the very center of Ljubljana, on the embankment of the river Ljubljanica, in the part called Krakovski nasip. The Slovenian public has an opportunity to get acquainted with the work of J. Plečnik, which he created during his time in Prague, through 22 panels. You can also see the exhibition in pdf version here

As the exhibition is installed in the open air, it allows the Slovenian audience to explore the work of J. Plečnik even during the COVID-19 pandemic when most of our cultural life in Slovenia has been significantly limited.

The exhibition was graphically designed by Mr. Ondřej Grygar. Mrs. Tatjana Jamnik, the Slovenian translator of Czech literature, translated the text into Slovenian language.
