Sergij Vilfan developed an early interest in legal antiquities, legal customs, as well as rural life and work methods. In 1947, he was invited to become a member of a group that carried out several ethnological field studies across Slovenia under the leadership of Boris Orel. Vilfan’s interest in ethnology grew even more evident after 1956, when he began to spend his summer vacations with his family at Gornji Grad, where local farmers would provide him with abundant information about life and work on mountain farms. In 1971, he purchased a house on the Zgornji Kovšak farm at Florjan pri Gornjem Gradu with several agricultural tools preserved, alongside various household items that Vilfan kept and restored as well as organized them into a small ethnological collection presented in this article.
