Erected in 1551, the old tower on the Drava river was the largest of six that once formed Ptuj's Renaissance defence system. Originally it had no roof because it was used as a gun cannon platform. When the tower lost its original function, it was initially converted into apartments, and then in 1938 into an exhibition space. For some years a viticulture collection was displayed here, but since 1967 the space has been used for occasional art exhibitions. The gallery is named after painter France Mihelič, who produced some of his major works between 1936 and 1941 when he taught at Ptuj Grammar School. Ptuj Regional Museum also keeps an extensive collection of drawings and prints by France Mihelič and exhibits them in its graphics collection.

Mihelič Gallery is a co-presenter of the Ptuj Artists Colony and Ex Tempore:
