We invite you to the opening of an exhibition on the work of Ivan Vurnik, oone of the leading architects of Slovenian modernism, founding professor of the Ljubljana School of Architecture, innovator, and artist. The exhibition, organized by the Center arhitekture Slovenije and the Museum of Architecture and Design on the 140th anniversary of Ivan Vurnik's birth, aims to highlight the architect's leading and some lesser-known works and to present his influence on the development of Slovenian architecture.

The exhibition Architect Ivan Vurnik: Then and Now, 1884–2024 will open on the promenade in the Maribor City Park on Saturday, 4 October 2025, at 11:00. The architect's major works are presented through reproductions of original plans, preserved photographs, and contemporary photographs by architectural photographer Miran Kambič. Photographs of the current state of the buildings express the users' relationship to architecture, its preservation, care, and, at the same time, its transformation through space and time.
