Museum of Architecture and Design 2019 Courtyard
The Architecture Museum of Ljubljana was established in 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 of management 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. MAO has been located at Fužine Castle since 1992.

In 1997, Matija Bevk and Vasa J. Perović founded the Ljubljana-based award-winning architecture office Bevk Perović Arhitekti, which has since become widely known throughout Slovenia for its large-scale public housing projects and visionary private residence designs. The office has also garnered international recognition by taking awards and winning several competitions and commissions abroad. Works by Bevk Perović often sport a slightly reserved feel, though paradoxically this does not preclude their designs from being rather outspoken.
Notable recent projects include their plan for the upcoming National and University Library building, the Islamic Centre in Ljubljana (2017), and the Situla Building, a striking mixed-use block built near the main railway station in Ljubljana. Besides designing buildings, they occasionally collaborate with the lighting manufacturer Vertigo Bird. This collaboration has also brought them numerous awards and accolades.
