History
The house was later named after one of its owners, merchant Frančišek Pavel Kos from Jesenice, who enlarged and renovated it in the neoclassical style in 1821. It was later purchased by the Ruards, ironworks owners and industrialists, and after 1872 by the KID (Kranjska Industrial Society) to provide housing for its executives. Ten years later the manor, its outbuilding, and its garden were purchased by the Municipality of Jesenice and the building was used as a primary school for 30 years. Before the Second World War the house became a court and prison and during the occupation the Germans used it as a transition prison.
Following the renovation of the building in 1985, today’s three-storey building houses a permanent exhibition of recent history, a gallery for temporary exhibitions on the ground floor, a multi-purpose room for cultural events and a wedding hall on the second floor.
Exhibitions
The war years are documented in the exhibition entitled Occupation Terror in the Years 1941–1945 which is installed on the ground floor. On the first floor is a permanent exhibition entitled The Workers' Movements and the National Fight for Independence in Jesenice.
In addition to the regular museum programme some special exhibitions are staged in the ground floor gallery. Opening ceremonies accompanied by cultural programmes are held every month in the entrance hall.
