Vlasto Kopač – A Visionary Creator from Zois Palace
Just a few steps from the Krakovo Embankment, in the renowned Zois Palace, lived and worked Vlasto Kopač – one of the most versatile creative figures in 20th-century Slovenia. He was an architect, a student of Jože Plečnik, a conservator, designer, illustrator, cartographer, mountaineer, and a dedicated guardian of natural and cultural heritage. Through the breadth of his interests and his perseverance, he helped preserve numerous stories, objects, plans, monuments, and records that might otherwise have been lost over time.
To present the diversity of his remarkable body of work to the public – from architecture and design to mountains, heritage, and memory – museums, heritage protection institutions, and research organisations that preserve his rich legacy joined forces. Marking the 20th anniversary of his death, the exhibition is one of several events dedicated to him this year.
The exhibition brings us closer to a man who did not merely shape space, but understood it, protected it, and knew how to listen to it. We invite you to discover Vlasto Kopač – a visionary from the neighbouring street!
The exhibition will be on view until the end of December 2026.
