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.
Beside solo exhibitions of regional authors as Andrej Božič, based in Ptuj, or Polona Petek, Maribor based artist of young generation, it features also other Slovene artists like Klementina Golja.

Such exhibitions are as a rule on the view on all locations of the museum which are covering the contemporary art production, sometimes also in the exhibiting area of the Ivan Potrč Library, Ptuj.
