It's well-run by Ana and Natalija, who sometimes lead the tours.
Getting There:
It's directly behind the twin steeples of the Trnovo Church. The

enjoyable as the house itself. You can either walk south along the river, then turn right onto

south on Emonska. Either way, you'll pass through the garden-patch district of Krakovo,

to or from the museum, it's enjoyable to get a meal in Krakovo (three restaurants—Pri
Škofu, Manna, and Harambaša—are described later, under “Eating in Ljubljana”).

world that inspired him as he shaped Ljubljana. Living a simple, almost monastic lifestyle,
