The Metković Museum of Natural History is located in Metković.Together with the City Library and Reading Room, the museum is housed in the building of the former Libra Tobacco Station built in 1891. After its thorough renovation, the museum was officially opened on July 17, 2015.The museum grew out of the Ornithological Collection, which opened in 1952, largely thanks to Dragutin Rucner and the Metkovic Hunting Society. The collection was initially on the premises of the Hunting Society and consisted of 240 bird preparations. It was relocated to the ground floor of today's city administration in 1969 and remained there until moving to the museum.
