Houses of Goa is a unique museum by reputed architect Gerard da Cunha and our next halt in the Goa Museum tour. It encapsulates the amalgamation of eastern and western architectural styles.This museum showcases the houses which were the prime expression of the Goan identity. The Museum is built on a traffic island and is in the shape of a triangle and resembles a ship!

Our Goa Museum Tour takes us next to the Museum of Christian Art is the only one of its kind in Asia. A guided tour here brings alive the richness of Indo-Portuguese Christian Art from Goa. Every object displayed in the museum reflects the immense wealth of the Churches of Goa. An interesting aspect of the collection is that many were made by local Hindu artists! During the Portuguese times, the demand for the religious artwork was extremely high and the exhibits could not be shipped from Portugal. To make up for the demand, Hindu artists were contracted to complete the religious artworks.

Built in 1964, the ASI Museum is housed in the convent portion of the church of St. Francis of Assisi. The collection of exhibits range from prehistoric and early historic period to the late mediaeval period. Our special guide will bring alive the significance of the collection including the display of the portrait paintings of governors and viceroys, wooden sculptures, pillars, capitals, postal stamps and other objects from the Portuguese period in Goa.
