Among contemporary design exhibitions the exhibition ''Niko Kralj: The Unknown Famous Designer'' was quite a break-through: it showcased the archives, sketches, photographs, prototypes and final products of the 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.

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 Architects]].

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 came a new name, the Museum 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.

Since 1972 the administration of the Biennial of Design (BIO) (formerly known as the Biennial of Industrial Design) has operated under the aegis of the museum. Since 2017 MAO has additionally provided the framework for the Centre for Creativity, a broadly oriented project intended to provide support to Slovenia's cultural and creative sector (CCS).

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 the 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, and 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.


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.

The museum 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, it only entered regular production in 2012.
