Background
The former Church of the Holy Spirit was built (on the ruins of a yet older church) in the 1770s by the Auersperg noble family and was supposedly projected by the renowned architect of that time, Johann Fuchs. In 1939 the church was not in use for churchly purposes any more and between 1939 and 1966 the the Museum society for political districts of Brežice and Krško had a part of its collection displayed there.
In its first three decades, the gallery was led by the Valvasor Library, Krško which organised mroe than one hundred exhibitions. Later on, this was taken over by the local office of JSKD, and in 2010 its custody was given to the Krško Culture House (which also runs the Municipal Museum of Krško and the Rajhenburg Castle)
Exhibitions
The gallery is now sometimes compared to the Božidar Jakac Gallery in Kostanjevica na Krki, a renowned and also church stationed gallery for visual arts. That one is similar in its specific ambience and in preparing exhibitions specially tailored for the venue.
Some of the artists who presented their works here are the puppeteer Silvan Omerzu, the Domestic Research Society collective, the photographers Uroš Abram and (in course of a collective exhibition) Borut Peterlin, the artist Erik Mavrič and the sculptor Boštjan Drinovec, the painters Arjan Pregl and Marijan Novak Slunjsk.
