Stjepan Mitrov Ljubiša was born here, schooled at Budva's lower primary school in the 1830s, and went on to write the realist short-story collections "Pripovijesti crnogorske i primorske" and "Pričanja Vuka Dojčevića", drawing on Montenegrin and Primorje folk life. He served as deputy for Boka in the Dalmatian parliament and as a People's Party MP in Vienna, where he died in 1878.

The birth house was converted to a memorial museum and city archive in the 1980s and formally opened to the public in 1995 with a permanent exhibition on Ljubiša's life and cultural contribution. The programme adds rotating documentary and art exhibitions, the annual "Ljubišini dani" event and the "Mali format" group shows.
