Programme
The house incorporates an open-hearth kitchen (the so-called 'black kitchen'), a larder, a 'hiša' [a house] with wooden ceiling with a large central beam, and other rooms which reflect the humble conditions in which a rural smallholder once lived. The collection consists of the artefacts belonging to Finžgar family (ceramic oven, chests, marital bed, cradle).
In the cellars there is a permanent exhibition on Finžgar's life and opus, which includes Our Blood [Naša kri], Chain [Veriga], Ruined Life [Razvalina življenja], and the acclaimed historical novel Under the Free Sun [Pod svobodnim soncem].
The original house in Doslovče was expanded by the writer’s grandfather, Joseph Ažman, near the end of the 18th or the beginning of the 19th century. The wooden walls were laid with planks, plastered and painted, and above the window the year 1849 was engraved. The house Pr' Dolenc was known for weaving cloth on a loom, and for making sheepskin coats and leather breeches.
