Opened to the public in 1974, the house where Jože Plečnik (1872-1957) lived from 1921 until his death in 1957 has been restored in period style as a museum dedicated to the life and work of Slovenia's greatest architect. The entire inventory of furniture and other objects used by Plečnik have been preserved. The collection contains extensive archives of his sketches, plans, correspondences and other documents.

On view is a range of Plečnik's personal effects, together with the artist’s archives. The core of the collection is exhibited in the cylindrical annex which Plečnik had added to his brother’s old house between 1923 and 1925. A few years later he had an entrance hall added to the northern side of the house and a winter garden to the southern side. The authentic interiors are preserved just as Plečnik created them, with his own original design of furniture and a wealth of small objects. A spacious garden completes the Plečnik property on the western side of the building.
