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 its first three decades, the gallery was led by the Valvasor Library, Krško which organised more than one hundred exhibitions. Later on, it was taken over by the local office of Public Fund for Cultural Activities, and in 2010 its custody was given to the Krško Culture House (which also runs the Municipal Museum of Krško and the Rajhenburg Castle)
