Don't expect much
Building is attractive for Kranj and interesting when you need to know something about poet Prešeren. On the other side it is always the same, some furniture and boring descriptions and no innovative new exhibition, at least a part of it. One visit in your life is enough. Place has free entrance each first Sunday of the month.
