The Architecture Museum of Ljubljana was established in [[Established::1972]] by the [[Municipality of Ljubljana]]. In April 2010 the management of the museum was transferred from the city to the state. With the move came a new name, the [[Museum of Architecture and Design]] (Muzej za arhitekturo in oblikovanje (MAO)), and a central role as the main repository for documents and materials pertaining to architecture, town planning, industrial and graphic design, and photography in Slovenia. The Museum has been located at [[Fužine Castle]] since 1992.

The exhibition ''Niko Kralj: The Unknown Famous Designer'' set a new standard for exhibitions of this kind: it showcased the archives, sketches, photographs, prototypes and final products of world-renowned Slovenian industrial designer [[Niko Kralj]] (1921–2013), including the famous Rex armchair, Lupina series, 4455 and modular system furniture Futura, Savinja, Javor, Konstrukta, as well as the Mosquito chair, which was designed as early as 1953, but due to the complexity of its manufacture, it only entered regular production in 2012.

Activities

The activities of the Museum of Architecture and Design have expanded since the move to Fužine Castle. The museum now incorporates 4 departments: the Architecture Department, the Design Department, the Photography Department, and the Events Department. The museum also houses a specialised library.

The departments systematically collect, store, study, and present materials pertaining to their fields. The Architecture Department collects sketches, models, blueprints, photographs and films documenting the extensive history of architecture in Slovenia; the Design Department houses a range of industrial design objects in a wide range of materials that trace the history of industrial design in Slovenia, with an emphasis on consumer goods manufactured by Slovenian firms; the Photography Department contains over 12,000 photographs from over 400 authors, some dating as far back as 1850.

A special collection curated by the museum is the Plečnik Collection. Housed separately at the Plečnik House, the exhaustive collection features over 17,000 drafts, sketches, models and letters from both Plečnik himself and the great architect's students.

Programme

Materials and documents collected and studied at the Museum of Architecture and Design are displayed in the framework of various themed exhibitions. The exhibition The Architect Jože Plečnik 1872–1957 was based on a major exhibition with the same title at the Georges Pompidou Centre in Paris in 1986. Special themed historical exhibitions focus on specific time periods and spaces: 18th-Century Architecture in Slovenia (2007) and 19th-Century Architecture in Slovenia (2013). Beside periodical exhibitions of Slovene architecture, the museum also hosts regular exhibitions of international architecture.

MAO is also active in calling attention to the surprisingly rich history of industrial and consumer design in Slovenia. The exhibition Niko Kralj: The Unknown Famous Designer set a new standard for exhibitions of this kind: it showcased the archives, sketches, photographs, prototypes and final products of world-renowned Slovenian industrial designer Niko Kralj (1921–2013), including the famous Rex armchair, Lupina series, 4455 and modular system furniture Futura, Savinja, Javor, Konstrukta, as well as the Mosquito chair, which was designed as early as 1953, but due to the complexity of its manufacture, only entered into regular production in 2012.
