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,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.
