The only museum institution of Inner-Somogy opened in 1979 in Barcs. It collects material from the Dráva region. The document and local history collection of the Dráva Museum holds material focusing on Barcs. The documents of present days, that of factories, families and institutions, are tended with great significance. Almost three quarter of the ethnography collection deals with material acquired from minority groups. The museum has a rich collection of the clothing and textile of Croatians living along the River Dráva. The collection also includes everyday used objects, tools and equipment. The archeology collection is one of the richest in the county.

The ever-growing data collection on museology is a great help for the researchers who are engaged in the search of ethnography and the history of the region. The material includes a large number so far unprocessed manuscripts, essays and articles. The photo archive contains photos to be found in this collection only.

The library of the museum has several functions: collects books on the River Dráva, the region and the county, as a special scientific library it obtains the specialized literature for professional work at the library.

The Dráva Museum published yearbooks from 2003. Some of the research works are published in volumes.

The exhibitions of the Colony of Artists of Barcs organized yearly are also held in the museum. The body of the fine- and applied arts collection is made up of works made at the colony.
