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".
