Established in [[Established::1972]] by the Urban [[Municipality of Ljubljana]], the [[Architecture Museum of Ljubljana]] is the central Slovene museum for architecture, town planning, industrial and graphic design, and photography. It houses the [[Plečnik Collection]], a permanent display of oeuvres by the leading Slovene architect [[Jože Plečnik]] (1872–1957). Originally located in the [[Plečnik House]] at Karunova ulica 4, which it still maintains, the Architecture Museum was relocated to [[Fužine Castle]] in 1992. Since 1972 the Secretariat of the [[Biennial of Industrial Design (BIO)]] operates under the aegis of the museum. In April 2010 the management of the Architecture Museum was transferred from the city of Ljubljana to the state of Slovenia, and thus renamed as the Museum of Architecture and Design.

Established in 1972 by the Urban Municipality of Ljubljana and taken over by the government in 2010, the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAD) (former Architecture Museum of Ljubljana) is the central Slovene museum for architecture, town planning, industrial and graphic design, and photography. Since 1992 the Museum of Architecture and Design is located at Fužine Castle. It houses also the Plečnik Collection, a permanent display of oeuvres by the leading Slovene architect Jože Plečnik (1872–1957). In October 2010 the 22nd Biennial of Industrial Design (BIO) opens its door with an international design exhibition.

Since 1972 the Secretariat of the Biennial of Industrial Design (BIO) operates under the aegis of the museum. In October 2010 the 22nd biennial opens its door with an international design exhibition.

In 2010 the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana presented a series of lectures in visual communications theory On Information Design. The lecture series, prepared in collaboration with Petra Černe Oven and Pekinpah Association, featured six internationally renowned experts in the area of information design, among them also Yuri Engelhardt, Rob Waller, and Karel van der Waarde.


Departments

The activities of the Architecture Museum have expanded since the move to the Fužine Castle. The museum now incorporates 6 departments: the Department of Historical Architecture in Slovenia, the Department of Contemporary Slovene Architecture, the Department of Industrial Design, the Department of Visual Communications, the Department of Photography, and the Department of Educational Activities. The museum also houses a specialised Library.

Until 2010 the Museum has managed also the Plečnik House at Karunova ulica 4 (now managed by City Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana). From 1988 to 2004 the museum also managed the Jakopič Gallery, which is today managed by the City Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana as well.

Programme

The Museum of Architecture and Design systematically collects, stores, studies, and presents material at permanent and temporary exhibitions. The permanent display The Architect Jože Plečnik 1872–1957 is based on a major exhibition of the same title at the Georges Pompidou Centre in Paris in 1986. Special themed historical exhibitions include The Modern Classic Arne Jacobsen 1902–1971: A Centenary Exhibition (2004), 17th-Century Architecture in Slovenia (2006) and 18th-Century Architecture in Slovenia (2007). Beside periodical exhibitions of Slovene architecture, the museum also hosts regular exhibitions of international architecture.

Lectures and other educational activities, including creative workshops, take place regularly at the Architecture Museum.

Museum evenings

Museum evenings are thematically structured lectures ranging from architecture, visual communications, industrial design, photography and other activities connected with museums. Taking place once a month they aim to encourage public debate about museums and different areas of expertise that are increasingly neglected in contemporary society.

In 2006–2007 the ARK - Institute for Architecture and Culture co-organised a series of lectures under the title Architectural Epicentres. These lectures focused on seven epicentres – Brazil and Mexico in the 1950s, Finland in the 1960s, Switzerland and USA in the 1980s, Barcelona in the 1990s, and the Netherlands at the close of the 20th century, while the concluding lecture focused on Slovenia and the (im)possibility of its becoming one of the next architectural epicentres. The lecturers were Keith L. Eggener, Hugo Segawa, Harri Kalha, Bart Lootsma, Nott Chaviezel, Mary McLeod, Jose Luis Echeverre, Yasushi Zenno, Rado Riha and Boštjan Vuga of Sadar-Vuga Arhitekti. The book of essays presenting the lecture series was published by the Architecture Museum in 2008.

In 2008 the Museum of Architecture and Design in collaboration with the Pekinpah Association prepared a series of lectures in design theory about sustainable alternatives in design with international lecturers. In 2010 the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana and the Pekinpah Association released a book of lectures Sustainable alternatives in design: It's high time we start losing time featuring texts by: Dieter Rams, Ezio Manzini, Jonathan Chapman, Clive Dilnot, Per Mollerup, Victor Margolin, Cvetka Požar, and Barbara Predan.
