Plečnik Auditorium

The renowned Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik built the auditorium in the Tivoli park in 1933. The auditorium was originally intended as a venue for summer theatre performances and included a stage, stands for the visitors and a fountain at the top of the stands. The venue was later repurposed as a summer cinema and, even later, as an outdoor disco club. In the 1970s, most of the activities at the venue came to a halt. The fountain was moved to Ljubljana’s Ribji trg (“Fish Square”).

The new auditorium

In 2022 and 2023, a new auditorium was built at the same location, this time with wooden sands and a new sculpture in the place where the old fountain was once situated. The renovated venue is now managed by the nearby International Centre of Graphic Arts (MGLC) and hosts events that are complementary to MGLC’s exhibitions and to the exhibitions of Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts. In addition, MGLC organizes a special summer programme of cultural events under the title “Summer in Tivoli”. The auditorium is also available for events by other cultural producers, including Spider Festival and Cona Institute.
