THE PREŠEREN HOUSE (Kranj)

A memorial museum is arranged in the house in which Dr. France Prešeren (1800 – 1849), the greatest Slovenia poet, spent his last years of life. The bedroom and barrister's office are equipped with authentic furniture. The collection contains a censor-printed manuscript of Poezije (Poesies) collection, and original edition of Poezije from 1847, the original and facsimilies of the poem Krst pri Savici (The Baptism by Savica) and facsimiles of other major poems. The display offers newspapers and other publications in which his poems were published. His personal archives are also on display. The rooms for temporary exhibitions of culture, history and art are on the ground floor and in the cellar.
