One of the founders of the museum was Shalom Dov Wolpo, who was charged with "bribing soldiers to refuse to evacuate illegal West Bank outposts." The purpose of the museum, according to its operators, is "to create a consciousness of remembrance, preservation and salute to the enterprise of Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip, and to maintain a vigil of national consciousness in memory of the displacement of the settlements in Gush Katif and northern Samaria, as part of what was called the "disengagement plan". The museum has 8 wings: introduction, settlement from 67, the orange wing, the black wing, the future, the movie hall, the library and the exhibition floor. The museum was established by the association "Gush Katif Private Museum in Jerusalem", which their goal is to "Commemorate Gush Katif settlements". The association is considered to be right-leaning in Israeli politics. A large majority of the Israeli public over the years did not see the annexation of Gaza as a good or realistic idea. After the start of the Israel-Hamas War on October 7th, 2023, museum guide Oded Mizrahi reported that the museum received an increase of visitors, as well as "interest from the international press."

On April 7, 2009, Duwait's house was demolished as a declared deterrent against future attacks, the first such demolition since 2005.
