About
Goa Chitra Ethnographic Museum is based in the former Portuguese colony located in the census town Benaulim, in Goa. It has a large collection -- over 4000 artifacts -- focusing on Goa's traditional agrarian technology and lifestyle. The museum enhances the already beautiful location of Benaulim, rendering it a fantastic location to visit while traveling in Goa. The Goa Chitra as it is termed locally is the brainchild of Victor Hugo Gomes, a restoration artist by profession. It is the endeavor of the museum to showcase the lives of the ancestors who were a part of this land called Goa. Through this museum, Victor Hugo Gomes wanted to portray and pay tribute to the people who in earlier days lived simple agrarian lives with eco-friendly means and methods - the tools, implements, and crafts which were not technologically sophisticated but rendered a fine balance between nature and the peoples’ sustenance.
