Birthplace of Matija Čop
Photocopies of manuscripts and published texts are exhibited on a Biedermeier desk in the centre of the room, and published issues of Čop's works are on view in a showcase. An important element of the exhibition is the 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. The Ajdna site contains archaeological remains from Roman times: 6 residences, sacral objects, and 11 tombs, dating from the 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 Path of Cultural Heritage and is also used by locals of the new Municipality of Žirovnica.
