On a Biedermeier desk in the centre of the room photocopies of manuscripts and published texts are exhibited, and in a showcase published issues of Čop's works are on view. An important element of the exhibition is a multimedia programme, which can be viewed in the adjacent former cellar. A collection of archaeological material from the late Roman upland outpost on Ajdna over Potoki is also on display. At the site Ajdna there are archaeological remains from Roman time: six residences, sacral object, and eleven tombs, dating from 5th to 6th Century AD.
The homestead of Matija Čop is also used for a variety of activities organised by the Žirovnica Primary School under the heading ‘The Path of Cultural Heritage'. It is a venue for cultural activities connected with the Cultural Heritage Path and is also used by locals of the new Municipality of Žirovnica.
