About
Layer House is the junction of cultural happening in Kranj. It hosts social, creative and educational events. The house itself is situated near the Khislstein castle in Kranj. Its architecture is marked by classicism and baroque, but the building has recently been transformed into a multi-purpose art area with a cafe, a museum with several permanent exhibitions, and even three residences that were primarily designed for artists but can also be hired by other visitors.
First-floor museum is divided into three parts, with one room boasting walls covered in restored 19th-century frescoes, another showcasing an impressive collection of works by Layer himself, while the third is devoted to the life and work of Janez Puhar, who was a pioneer of early photography and is credited with inventing a novel method of capturing images on glass in 1841. There is also a small gift shop with unique souvenirs and additional space for various activities.
