 Archaeological Museum & Portrait Gallery - Old Goa
The museum has been functioning since 1964 in the abandoned convent of St.
Francis of Assisi and is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India
(ASI). The collection consists of Brahmanical sculptures hero-stones and
sati stones of the early and late medieval periods, portraits, coins and
currency, revenue and court fee stamps, wooden and bronze sculptures and
armoury of the Portuguese period. Archives Museum of Goa - Panaji
The Museum of Goa is housed at a new Building at the Patto Plaze near the
Ourem creek, Panaji. The most noteworthy feature of Panjim's State
Archeological Museum is its imposing size, which stands in glaringly
inverse proportion to the scale of the collection inside. In their bid to
erect a structure befitting a state capital, Goa's status-obsessed
bureaucrats ignored the fact that there was precious little to put in it.
The only rarities to be found amid the lame array of temple sculpture,
hero stones and dowdy colonial era artifacts (also spelt as artefacts) are
a couple of beautiful Jain bronzes rescued by customs and excise officials
from smugglers and, on the ground floor, photos of the prehistoric rock
carvings at Usgalimal .
The Big Foot Art Gallery
- Loutelim The Big
Foot Art Gallery & Handicrafts Centre, Loutulim offers local artifacts
(also spelt as artefacts) and handicrafts to visitors who come to have a
glimpse of Ancestral Goa.
Conceived as a means to promoting amateur artisanship in all its form, the
Big Foot Art Gallery is one place that has played host to artists of State
and National fame. The Naval Aviation Museum - Vasco
The first naval museum in Asia was inaugurated at Dabolim, Vasco in 1998
and opened for public from the 19th Oct 1998. The museum showcases the
history of Indian Naval Aviation, various aircrafts, weapons, sensors,
safety equipment, rare photographs depicting Goa's liberation and
artifacts (also spelt as artefacts).
A multimedia games section is an added attraction. Situated in the
picturesque backdrop of the Bogmalo beach, the museum has become a
must-visit place for all tourists.
