Painter Cemal Bingöl, who has a pioneering and important place in the history of Turkish painting art with his abstract works, was appointed in 1961 as the first and founding gallery director. Serving from 1963, when the gallery became operational, until 1967, Bingöl transformed this state gallery in Ankara into a focal point in the field of visual arts through his vision and the communication and relationship network he commanded at an international level in art circles.

The units carrying out cultural services within the Ministry of National Education were transferred in 1971 to the newly established Ministry of Culture; thus, the galleries were also attached to the Ministry of Culture.

As of 2024, the gallery met art lovers in its new venue following the restoration of the historic tavla building located within Başkent Millet Bahçesi and its conversion into an exhibition hall.
