History
The Gallery was founded after Pilon's son Dominique donated to the town of Ajdovščina his father's artistic legacy, a rich collection of art works and an archival collection comprising documents, manuscripts, correspondence, books and personal belongings as well as varied memorial material, including the literary legacy of Walter Bianchi.
Venue
The gallery premises consist of two houses, the first being the Pilon homestead, which also used to be the bakery of the painter`s father. The facades of the two houses, as well as the interior of the painter's homestead with all its architectural details, were preserved and renovated by Svetozar Križaj (1921-1996), who received the 1976 Plečnik Award for the renovation. The collection was later enriched by purchases and other donations.

The last room (which was the painter`s studio) contains drawings and prints dating from his Parisian period until the late 1950s. The corridor features two sculptures - of the notary Artur Lokar and the writer Ivan Cankar - as well as some portrait drawings of Slovene artists.
