You are welcome to explore our on-line digitised collection of more than 80,000 museum artefacts and specimens.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The collections of the Museum of Architecture and Design are a repository of ideas and inspirations documenting the culture and creativity of 20<sup>th<\/sup> and 21<sup>st<\/sup> century architecture, design and photography in Slovenia. The purpose of our collection, conservation, research and exhibition activities is to create a databank of ideas and collective memories to serve future generations, while at the same time contribute to the promotion of ideas, information and values, both locally and internationally, in the present time.<\/p>\n<p>Our collections comprise more than 80,000 works of architecture, design and photography, arranged over three extensive collections: architecture, design (industrial design and visual communications design) and photography. They represent the majority of prominent 20<sup>th<\/sup> century Slovenian architects, designers and photographers \u2013 in total more than 1000 authors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The collections comprise objects, project designs and documents that have shaped and continue to shape our everyday life, and provide a source of inspiration, ideas, concepts and stimulus to many young researchers and enthusiasts. They are constantly updated and expanded, through systematic acquisitions, donations and purchasing, while their significance is explored through research, exhibitions, and interaction with our visitors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Because of the nature of the work of architects and designers we also collect documents relevant for research of both, such as letters, photographs, audio and video material, books, magazines, advertising material, and other items contained in architectural or design archives. The Museum of Architecture and Design keeps a collection of more than 100,000 different objects that are testimony to the past and as such are important both for the present and the future of our society.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MAO continues to utilize and expand the source of inspiration and research in architecture and design with numerous attractive exhibitions, publications and diverse programmes aimed at general audiences. At the same time, it seeks to position itself as a space for all who want to research, study and know more about how we inhabit our living spaces, how we organize, design, change and mark it, and thus make it our own.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<!-- buttons -->\n\t\n\t\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!-- FULL WIDTH SLIDER -->\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\n                <div class=\"swiper-container swiper1 main\">\n                    <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n\n                                     \n\n\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"full-width-bckg bckg-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/mao.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/49158207207_7f506f5078_k.jpg)\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n          \n\n\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"full-width-bckg bckg-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/mao.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SAdar_Vuga_Gospodarska_zbornica_001-scaled.jpg)\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n          \n\n\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"full-width-bckg bckg-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/mao.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Radio_001-scaled.jpg)\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n            \n\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n\t\t                    <div class=\"swiper-button-prev\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"nxt-button-arrow\">\n\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/mao.si\/wp-content\/themes\/mao\/assets\/img\/icons\/MAO-arrow-01.svg\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"swiper-button-next\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"prv-button-arrow\">\n\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/mao.si\/wp-content\/themes\/mao\/assets\/img\/icons\/MAO-arrow-01.svg\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t   <!-- <div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div> -->\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\n\n<!-- append after load-->\n    <div id=\"slidesAppender\" style=\"  display: none;\">\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<!-- append after load-->\n\n\n\n\n<!-- FULL WIDTH SLIDER -->\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<script>\nvar mySwiper;\n    \ndocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function(event) {\n    \/\/ Your code to run since DOM is loaded and ready\n    \nmySwiper = new Swiper('.swiper-container.swiper1', {\n\n  autoplay: {\n    delay: 4000,\n  },\n  speed: 200,\n  effect: 'fade',\n  fadeEffect: {\n    crossFade: true\n  },\n\n  centeredSlides: true,\n    slidesPerView: 1,\n      spaceBetween: 20,\n      slidesPerGroup: 1,\n      loop: true,\n      loopFillGroupWithBlank: true,\n  \/\/ Optional parameters\n  direction: 'horizontal',\n  loop: true,\n  lazy: true,\n  \/\/ If we need pagination\n  pagination: {\n    el: '.swiper-pagination',\n    type: 'bullets',\n    clickable: true,\n  },\n  observer: true, \n  observeParents: true,\n\n  \/\/ Navigation arrows\n  navigation: {\n    nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',\n    prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev',\n  },\n\n})\n\n\n\n\/\/ vanilla JS\nimagesLoaded( '.swiper1 .swiper-slide', { background: true }, function() {\n  console.log('swiper-container background image loaded');\n\n  if(document.querySelector('.swiper1')) {\n  document.querySelector('.swiper1').classList.add('images-loaded');\n  }\n    \n});\n\n\n});  \n\n\nfunction getSlidesToAppend() {\n    var slidesDiv = '';\n    if (document.getElementById('slidesAppender')) {\n            slidesDiv = document.getElementById('slidesAppender').innerHTML;\n    };\n    return slidesDiv;\n}\n\n\nfunction addSlides() {\n    if(!mySwiper) {return;}\n    mySwiper.appendSlide([\n        getSlidesToAppend()\n      ]);\n    mySwiper.update();\n    console.log('slides added');\n}\n    \n\n\nwindow.onload = (event) => {\n  \n};\n\nvar $ = jQuery.noConflict();\n\n$(document).ready(function() {\n\taddSlides();\n});\n\n\n<\/script>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":3685,"menu_order":35,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mao.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3779"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mao.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mao.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mao.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mao.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3779"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/mao.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3779\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33870,"href":"https:\/\/mao.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3779\/revisions\/33870"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mao.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mao.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
