The Rogatec Open Air Museum comprises 15 different relocated or reconstructed buildings and associated materials which make up the museum space and form three separated sections. The homestead of poet Jože Šmid with a garden, an outhouse with manure pit and a field toilet, beehives, a pig stable, and a hay rack (kozolec). The administrative part are loden, an old shop with mixed merchandise, that is today also a museum shop and office. The third part is a domestic inn with a wine cellar and bar called pušenšank surrounded with vines that provide welcome shade in the summer and juicy grapes in the fall.
The Institution of Rogatec Heritage manages the Rogatec Open Air Museum, the Manor Strmol and sites in the medieval town of Rogatec. Museum activities combine and present the local history and ethnology through guided tours, craft workshops, oenology experiences, and horse riding expeditions. Because of the interesting programmes for youth and adults, the Rogatec Open Air Museum is one of the most visited museums in Slovenia; many visit it repeatedly, depending on the season and the work and farm activities that have to be done at that time.
Internationally, the museum collaborates in the European programme Museums Without Frontiers with other open air museums such as Freilichtmuseum Gerersdorf, Austria, and Göcseji Falumúzeum Zalaegerszeg, Hungary, by making common promotion.
