MAA video assemblage
By creating short film forms as well as documenting all its more important events, the MAA is able to offer a more dynamic rendering of static museum exhibition displays and take a step outside traditional ways of interpreting the museum and its contents.

Akan Goldweights
Exhibition and catalogue by: Marija Ličina, MAA curator
February 16th - August 20th 2011.
The exhibition showcased more that 500 goldweights from the collection of the Museum of African art, over 200 goldweights from the collection of the Slovene Ethnographic Museum in Ljubljana and examples from private collections along with the scales, boxes and spoons for gold dust. Akan goldweights are quite unique in the world for their forms - they depict humans (warriors, medicine-men, hunters...), animals (birds, crocodiles, anthelopes...), flora (peanuts, oil palm flowers, calabashes...), artefacts (drums, sandals, cannons...) and numerous other firgurative and geometric motifs.
