Good place to spend about an hour and a must for aviation enthusiasts. There is no guide but little plaques with some information about aeroplanes, engines and few naval ships. Better to visit early morning or post 4/5pm as the museum is out in the open and it’s very hot during mid day. Also carry good amount of cash as they do not accept cards or online payments and there are lot of souvenirs to shop from!

The best part of our trip to Goa last monsoon was our visit to this wonderful museum located in an industrial zone near Saligao.This is a private museum conceptualized by Mr.SUBODH KERKAR,a physician turned Historian. We need to start our visit with a 15 minute video regarding the History of Goa.All the Paintings ,sculptures and photographs depict the history of Goa.....It was surprising to note that Chillies and Maize were brought by Portuguese from South America to India.It was great to see lot of paintings and sculptures regarding Fish,the staple diet of Goan people. It was interesting to note that the concept of Motorcycle Taxis was started in Goa.A Tribute was paid to Mahatma Gandhiji,Father of our Nation.we also get to see a collection of nice oil paintings depicting the occupation of early goans.Goa's Ark stood out among all the sculptures. We were told that Art Exhibitions are conducted here throughout the year.You have a small Coffee shop also.At the end,we can purchase some souvenirs from the Souvenir shop.we bought two fridge magnets( including one Red chilli magnet) and a small book about the Museum. we were pleasantly surprised when we had a chance to meet Dr,SUBODH KERKAR,the brain behind this beautiful museum....on the whole,a must visit destination when you visit Goa.

Azulejos de Goa

Reviewed By blablablacksheepblog - Bengaluru, India

I just chanced upon this place after our visit to the latin quarters of Goa and I was so elated. I was really drawn to the ceramic tile art outside the Goan houses and i was hell bent on getting something for keepsake. I could not have asked for a better place. There were a myriad of options to select from. They also have a small cafe. Not a toddler friendly place as the tiles are breakable and you would not enjoy looking around , with a kid trying to touch them.
