Early exhibitions were dominated by the work of artists from the immediate area, but the programme was later expanded to include exhibitions of work from the rest of Slovenia and from abroad. It was here in 1967 that that the idea of a Pannonian international art exhibition was first organised; entitled 'The Pannonian Landscape and People', it presented works by artists from Austria, Croatia, Hungary and Slovenia. Until 1971 Murska Sobota was the principal organiser of this exhibition, but it later continued in Hungary (at the Savaria Museum, Szombathely in 1973) and Austria (at the Landesgalerie Schloss Esterhazy, Eisenstadt in 1975). The exhibition is now a triennial event in which Austria, Croatia, Hungary and Slovenia participate. In 1973 the pavilion also launched the first Yugoslav Biennial of Small Sculptures, which in 1999 developed into the European Triennial of Slovene Small Sculpture.
Before 1971 the exhibition pavilion operated within the Murska Sobota Regional Museum, and was then taken over by the Workers' University of Murska Sobota until 1978, when it was merged with Murska Sobota Regional and Study Library, Murska Sobota Regional Museum and the Park Cinema to form the Miško Kranjec Cultural Centre (as the centre, one of the first in Slovenia, was called until 1983). In 1980 it moved into a purpose-built gallery space in Kocljeva ulica, and in 1992 Murska Sobota Urban Municipality made it an independent public cultural institution under the name Murska Sobota Gallery.
Today the permanent collection of Murska Sobota Gallery comprises works by Slovene artists plus donations and purchases from past Biennials of Small Sculptures. Selected works from the gallery's holdings are presented in occasional exhibitions.
