Established in the early 1980s in Ljubljana and in 1977 in Novo mesto, Krka Gallery hosts a regular programme of exhibitions and is a lively venue for contemporary visual arts, where painters, sculptors, designers, photographers, and, occasionally, poets present their work. The programme is managed by the Art and Culture Association, founded by the employees of the Krka pharmaceutical company.
In Novo mesto Krka Gallery bridged the cultural gap created due to the distance of Novo mesto from major Slovenian cultural centers. In 1977, the lobby of the Krka company building became a permanent exhibition space for exhibitions of painters, sculptors, designers, cartoonists and photographers.

Events of Krka Gasllery also take place at the company's premises in Otočec and Ljutomer, as well as at the spa towns of Dolenjske toplice and Šmarješke toplice.
