Meeting point

Metelka was a philologian, a teacher, a priest and a translator. His work was meteleica - first truly Slovene alphabet written for a language renaissance. His tendencies weren't understood and after a few years of application, his alphabet was desolated. Metelkova house is a memento of a place and a person. It is a symbollical house, a house without walls, without windows, with no entrance nor escape: it is a symbol of open-minded humanity. It's a gate to the city - to the city of Francin Serafin Metelka.

Metelka's house is a place of appointments, a meeting-point with a story. It's a watchbox where Metelka fronts us: he hails us to the city. It's surface is sealed with part of Metelka's ballad about priest and a carpenter, where he tried to demosntrate new alphabet. The only used material is weathering steel plate.
