Budnar's Museum House

About

The Budnar’s house is a unique living museum depicting the lives of our ancestors. The renovated house, which was declared a historic monument, is owned by the municipality of Kamnik, and was named after its last owner, Cveto Budnar. The small partly stone partly wooden house leans against the hillside so that the gank (porch) with its southern side is always in the sunshine. The house represents a stretched home of a middle peasant in those days. At first, the house had only two rooms; a room called »hiša« (house) and a doorway with a smoke kitchen, later a small room called kamra was added, so that the living quarters and the farm are under the same roof. Today the house is a living museum which preserves a more than one hundred year old tradition of old farm houses and the simple peasant life.
