Since 1972 the Plečnik Collection presents an important department of the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana, located at a separate location in the Plečnik House in Trnovo, where Jože Plečnik lived from 1921 until his death in 1957. The collection consists of Plečnik's original work and furniture, his library, his drawing tools, and his personal belongings. The original artefacts of Jože Plečnik encompass a large archive of sketches, plans, photographs, and models made of wood, clay, and plaster, as well as Plečnik’s correspondence, and his student's work. The main part of the collection is on display in the cylindrical annexe of the house, constructed between 1923 and 1925 by the great architect himself. The Plečnik House comprises a complex of two houses, and a garden with a lapidarium, which all form a part of the Plečnik Collection as well.
