Houses of Goa

Museum

We in Goa have a strange but novel history and that is,we are part of the first sustained encounter between the East and the West.

Though we have a long and rich history from times immemorial and much before the arrival of the Portuguese, this encounter produced a culture and architecture which is unique.

This museum showcases the houses which were the prime expression of the Goan identity.

The Museum is built as a traffic island in Torda, Salvador-do-Mundo Bardez Goa.

Strangely enough it is in the shape of a triangle and resembles a ship.


Viewed from the outside it is a mystery but as you begin your visit, it slowly unfolds its charms.
