About event
🏛️ The Slovenian architect Josip Plečnik (1872-1957) is one of the most important figures of European architecture of the 20th century. 🇦🇹 As a pupil of Otto Wagner in Vienna, he quickly created his own, unmistakable style. 🇨🇿 Between 1920 and 1934, he rebuilt Prague Castle at the personal request of President Tomáš Garrigua Masaryk, and his interventions are still considered a symbol of the democracy of the first Czechoslovak Republic.
🇸🇮 He designed many buildings in Ljubljana - churches, a library, bridges and the Žale cemetery - thanks to which Plečnik's works are now included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. 🇸🇰 Although he was a visionary, he always returned to tradition and folk culture, which is why in 1920 he and his students undertook a study trip through the Slovak regions. ✂️ The exhibition was officially opened on 1 October 2025 by the presidents of Slovakia, Slovenia, Austria and the Czech Republic together with the chairman of the National Council of the Slovak Republic.
👉 Commented tour of the Josip Plečnik – Central European architect exhibition will introduce you to selected works of this important architect.
👩🏫 Art historian Alena Pivovarčiová will accompany you through the exhibition.
⏰ Commented tour begins at 16:00 🏰 directly in the exhibition on the 3rd floor of SNM - Historical Museum in Bratislava Castle.
You can buy tickets online (https://snm-online.sk/komentovana-prehliadka-vystavou-josip-plecnik/) or at the box office museums.
