The Museum of the Posavje Region originated before World War II with the private collection of archaeology enthusiast Otto Aumann of Krško. In 1949 artist Franjo Stiplovšek, assisted by curator and archaeologist Dr. Rudolf Bratanič, moved the collection from Krško to the historic Brežice Castle where it has remained ever since.


Today the collection is divided into several exhibition sections: the archaeological exhibition presents the cultural heritage of Posavje from the end of the Stone Age to the settlement of ancestors and the shaping of feudal society in the Early Middle Ages; the ethnological exhibition presents the life and creative activities of the domestic population in the 19th and 20th centuries (agriculture, stock-breeding, furnishing homes, forging, wickerwork, honey pastry, pottery, spinning, weaving and viticulture); the medieval history exhibition presents the peasants' revolts and the Reformation, using displays which include a precious Dalmatin Bible (the first complete Bible translation from German into Slovene) dating from 1584; the musical instrument collection features a square piano made in Ulm around 1770; the contemporary historical material collection presents the events of the late 19th-mid 20th centuries in Posavje, including an Exile Memorial Room dedicate to Slovene deportees during World War II; the art collection features Baroque paintings, sculptures and arts and crafts products; and the Stiplovšek Memorial Room honours the memory of painter and graphic artist Franjo Stiplovšek (1898-1963), presenting a collection of his expressionist woodcuts from the 1920s, genre paintings, portraits, landscapes and still-life paintings.
