The principal activities of the Dominicans in Ptuj were preaching, pastoral care, economic operations and education. They also had a rich library and archive. The monks inhabited the monastery until 1785 when it was dissolved under the reforms of Joseph II. Later, it was occupied by soldiers and craftsmen. In 1926 the monastery was bought by the municipality and renovated for use as a municipal museum and also for housing purposes. The renovation works discovered, both historically and artistically, the most interesting parts of the monastery.
The newly-arranged collections of the Ptuj Regional Museum were opened to the public here in 1928, followed in 1955 by the Historical Archives of Ptuj.
