The architecture is typical for that period for the Balkan peninsula. It is located in the center of Pirot, next to the market area. A small on two floors. It is located close to Ladna Voda restaurant. The entrance is very cheap (about 1 eur) and there is a guide inside to tell you the story of the place and the owner who built it. The guide spoke Serbian only. Overall a nice place to visit in Pirot, I recommend. The and its backyard, especially, are nice enough. However, the pub it hosts, service, food products quality and WC in particular, are below all possible positive critique. Visit the museum, but don't eat or drink at the pub. Fantastično Mala, ali sadrzajna postavka ovaj Muzej čini nezaobilaznu stanicu u Pirotu. Svaka pohvala kustoskinjama Mileni i Lei stručno i predano vode kroz izložbu!!! Historic place worth to see. has a guide who tells a very compelling story about the history and life in this region in 19th century and begining of 20th century. The story revolves around the owner of the house/motel and his family. The owner was Mali Rista (Little Rista). His great grandson sold this to the city officials who made it into the museum. One can feel the authentic spirit of old times by visiting the museum. Amazing experience. Fantastic opportunity to receive a glance at the history of the area and the way of living back in 19th and beginning of 20th century. A place to visit in any case preferably on the first day. Interesting history presented by the guide that gives a lot of info about the area with picturesque stories about little Rista (once owner f the house) and his way of handling with the Turkish authorities and by telling the story of various rooms and things exhibited in the house. At the end visitors have an interesting and quite realistic impression of the history of the place and many useful info about the location and what to visit, taste and feel when while they will stay in the surroundings. Interesting for kids too. Fluent in Serbian, English, German, Bolgarian and probably even more. Nice house, beautiful pieces of history. Several movies were shot here. Staff is not very friendly, the guide was like a robot, just delivering the text, not answering any questions, not giving time to see what he was talking about. Worth the visit, if you ignore the staff. A well preserved of what used to be old pan family home. It is a witness of the amount of influence both Byzantine and Ottoman empire had on this region for well over 1600 years during the enslavement of the Balkans. There are hints of Islamic Azerbaijani culture too, mostly musical instruments and decour. Well preserved, now giving tour guides for tourists. Fun fact: city of Pirot was once called Pyrgos when the Greek ruled these lands and Serbia was called Serbistan under Islamic Ottoman rule. Prelepo mesto koje vraća u neko drugo vreme u istoriju Srbije i Srpskog naroda. Simbolična cena ulaza i dečko koji ti sve objasni i ispriča. Došli smo u Pirot na jedan dan a evo već treći obilazimo interesantna mesta. Moramo ponovo doći jer stvarno ima mnogo toga da se vidi. Srećno do ponovnog viđenja. Historical place with interesting story. Today popular because of filming several Serbian movies and TV Shows. Predivno,autenticno mesto. Muzej u kome se moze osetiti energija predaka...Bozanstveno! The man who is working there and calling himself "Kustos" is very rude and unpleasant. His speach was mechanical and he didn't even great us when we walked into museum...I am sure that there are more competent people for that job.
