Oplen House is a characteristic Bohinj stretched-out farmhouse in which the living quarters and farm buildings are combined under one roof. In the living quarters there is an open hearth kitchen in working condition, a hiša which functions as the central living room, and a kamra ("small room") for farm workers who are too old to work. In the attic is an ispa, where crops, tools and clothes were kept. The farm buildings comprise a stable, barn, and litter store, where agricultural implements are exhibited. As in the past, further agricultural implements and accessories are kept in the barn.
Oplen House and its environs are also used as the venue for museum workshops for children, entitled "Old children's games" where children can practise milk churning and make butter or wash laundry as our grand grandmothers did.
