The Goolwa Museum, situated in Goolwa, South Australia, offers a captivating exploration of the history of Goolwa, Currency Creek, and Hindmarsh Island. Housed in a historic building dating back to around 1872, the museum presents a mix of permanent and changing exhibitions that provide insights into the region's past.

Among the notable items in the museum's collection are Pop (Gerhard) Kaesler's pioneering motorhome, known as "Home from Home," considered one of Australia's first, and a double bed patchwork quilt listed on the National Quilt Register. The museum's archive collection, accessible by appointment, contains a wealth of files and photographs relating to Goolwa and its maritime history.

Complementing its historical displays, the Goolwa Museum complex includes "Art @ Goolwa," a community art gallery that serves as a platform for local artists to exhibit their creations.
