Rojstna hiša Simona Gregorčiča

About the museum

The house in Vrsno, where the poet Simon Gregorčič was born in 1844, is a unique ethnological monument that bears witness to the building and living culture of the village’s inhabitants during the poet’s lifetime. It has been restored in the style of that time; it was set up as a museum in 1966 and is managed by the Tolminski muzej (Tolmin Museum).

The exhibition is devoted to Gregorčič’s life and work, his family and his contemporaries, and several of the poet’s personal objects are on display. Among Gregorčič’s best-known poems are “Soči” (To the Soča), “Veseli pastir” (The Cheerful Shepherd), “Človeka nikar” and “Nazaj v planinski raj” (Back to the Mountain Paradise).

Visits can be guided or individual; for organised and announced groups a visit is also possible outside the set timetable.
