When German settlers embarked across the seas to make the Barossa their home, they carried with them in their trunks more than items alone. Woven into each object is a story of love, culture, heritage, and craftsmanship which has unfolded and endured to this day. Explore pottery, furniture, textiles, and crafts from early the ninteenth-century Barossa and more.

The Barossa Regional Gallery, together with the Barossa Council, is proud to present new exhibition Stability, Grace, Endurance: Hand Crafted in Early Barossa as part of SA History Festival 2024.
