Vandot is most famous for the creation of the character Kekec, a brave and clever shepherd boy from the highlands of his home region, the Karavanke and Julian Alps.
The basement features an exhibit on the life and work of the local writer Josip Vandot, author of the Kekec series of children's books.
When he was 11 years he went to the audition for the movie Kekec where he was chosen out of more than a thousand kids.
