Šeškov dom
Muzejska stavba je zelo pomemben spomenik slovenske državnosti. Zgrajena je bila v letih 1937-1938, kot Sokolski dom. Načrte je izdelal pooblaščeni gradbeni inženir Gustav Trenz iz Novega mesta. Takrat je bil predviden kot večnamenska stavba. V njem je bila telovadnica in dvorana z gledališkim odrom.
V stavbi je leta 1943 od 1. do 4. oktobra potekal Zbor odposlancev slovenskega naroda in bilo je izvoljeno prvo predstavništvo okupiranega naroda v Evropi med drugo svetovno vojno. Zbor je zaradi varnosti potekal ponoči, udeleženci pa so se podnevi skrivali po okoliških vaseh. Na zbor so prišli tudi predstavniki osrednjih vodstvenih organov NOB, med njimi tudi Dr. Ivan Ribar (AVNOJ) in celo vodja zavezniške misije za Slovenijo kanadski major William Jones.
Za to priložnost so dvorano slovenski umetniki okrasili z napisom nad odrom, kamor so zapisali zgodovinske besede Ivana Cankarja »Narod si bo pisal sodbo sam«. Stene doma so prekrili z napisi in gesli, ki so bili vsi poškodovani in uničeni leta 1943. Skoraj nepoškodovan je ostal le napis nad odrom, ki dvorano krasi še danes.
Po drugi svetovni vojni so Sokolski dom preimenovali v Šeškov dom po narodnem heroju Jožetu Šešku. V letih 1992 - 1999 je potekala temeljita prenova in danes je Šeškov dom kulturni center in moderen muzej.

Pokrajinski muzej Kočevje
Zametki muzeja segajo v leto 1952, ko so na pobudo zgodovinske komisije začeli zbirati muzejsko gradivo. Leta 1953, so po enoletnem zbiranju gradiva, ustanovili Muzejsko društvo Kočevje. Svoje prve prostore je društvo imelo v Skubizovi vili ob Rinži, kjer so pripravili tudi prvo razstavo. Toda prostori so bili vlažni in povsem neprimerni za muzejsko dejavnost, zato so se že leta 1956 preselili v Šeškov dom, kjer so dobili tri manjše prostore. Kmalu zatem pa je društvo prenehalo obstajati, a so na pobudo Občinskega ljudskega odbora Kočevje leta 1960 ustanovili Splošni lokalni muzej, ki se je že naslednje leto preimenoval v Pokrajinski muzej Kočevje. Ta se je leta 1963 v celoti preselil v Šeškov dom.
V zadnjih letih si muzej prizadeva javnosti predstaviti predvsem nekdanjo kulturno podobo prebivalcev na območju Kočevske. Tako pripravljajo vrsto odmevnih razstav, ki gostujejo tudi po številnih slovenskih krajih in tudi v tujini. V muzeju potekajo vseskozi občasne in stalne razstave.

Šeškov dom (“Šeško’s home”)
The building housing the museum is a very important monument to the Slovenian statehood. It was
built between the years 1937 and 1938 as Sokoloski dom (literally translated to: Falcon’s home). It
was designed by a construction engineer Gustav Trenz from Novo mesto. At that time the building
was intended to be a multi-purpose building and had a gymnasium and a hall with a theater stage.
In the year 1943 between the 1st and 4th October, the Assembly of emissaries of the Slovenian nationtook place here. They elected the first representatives of an occupied nation in Europe during World
War II. The assembly took place at night due to safety concerns. The participants had to hide in the
surrounding villages during the day. Leading representatives of NOB, including Dr. Ivan Ribar
(AVNOJ) and even the allied commander, Major William Jones, attended the assembly.
Slovenian artists painted the famous words of Ivan Cankar “Narod si bo pisal sodbo sam.”
(translated to: “The nation shall write its own fate.”) above the podium especially for this occasion.
They painted the walls with slogans which were damaged and destroyed in 1943. Only Cankar’s
words above the stage remain nearly intact.
After World War II the building was renamed to Šeškov dom in honor of the national hero Jože
Šeško. In the years 1992 – 1999 Šeškov dom was completely renovated into a cultural center and a modern
museum.
Šeškov dom, March 2016
Regional Museum of Kočevje
The beginnings of the museum can be traced back to the year 1952 after an initiative to collect
historically significant material. After one year they gathered enough material to establish the
Museum society of Kočevje. Their first headquarters was in the Skubicova villa, where they also held
their first exhibition. But the premises were damp and completely inappropriate for the needs of a
museum. Therefore the society moved some of its activity to Šeškov dom in 1956, where they were
given three smaller spaces. Soon after the society ceased to exist. In 1960, the municipality opened
the (literally translated) General local museum, which was renamed to Regional Museum of Kočevje.
In 1963 the museum was moved to Šeškov dom in its entirety.
In recent years one of the main focuses of the museum is to introduce the cultural heritage of the
people that once lived in the area around Kočevje to the public. For this purpose they prepare many
exhibitions, which are sometimes also shown in other parts of Slovenia or even abroad.
