Exhibition OPEN DEPOT

The Museum of Architecture and Design (known as MAO, from its Slovene name Muzej za arhitekturo in oblikovanje) houses nearly 150,000 different objects, from plans, sketches, and models for buildings to various kinds of furniture, small objects, instruments and appliances, posters, various kinds of printed materials, and photographs.

Almost all the prominent Slovene architects and designers from the twentieth century, as well as many photographers, are represented in the museum's holdings, totalling more 1,000 authors altogether.

MAO is inaugurating its new programme as a national museum by introducing all its collections, opening wide its doors, and inviting visitors to see what is preserved within.

In a simply redesigned exhibition space visitors will enter the working environment of the museum curators, moving amongst depot shelves, bookcases, crates, and archival boxes with names recorded and catalogued by the museum. Lovers of architecture and design will be able to learn directly about the diverse materials, authors, and historic trends. MAO introduces them to the past work of architects, designers, and photographers as useful experiences, knowledge, and ideas for a better future.
