Beautiful gallery!
There are three parts: museum, souvenir shop and cafe.
There is plenty of alloted parking space.
Quiet area.
Suitable for kids
Great photo ops
The cafe closes for lunch around 1pm. But the museum is open.
The museum has three floors. Adults need to buy a ticket for 150 at the counter. From there, you get 50rs back as a discount that can be used at the cafe or souvenir shop.
The museum is focused on houses of Goa. It's beautiful and quiet. You have to remove your footwear. So wear or carry socks if you don't like walking barefoot.
The third floor has ample sitting space and cooler than the other floors. It is very interesting to read about the houses of Goa and history. You'll find snippets about Mario Miranda's art.
The souvenir shop is amazing!! Get ready to splurge. It is expensive but totally worth it. They also have an online shopping website. It is just half a minute distance from the museum on foot.
You will lamp shades, magnets, postcards, bookmarks (limited designs), keychains, jigsaw puzzles, trays, tshirts, tote bags (not great), figurines and more. Prices start from 100. The bookmarks are the cheapest. Figurines are around 3500+ .
I bought magnets, shot glasses, bookmarks, a postcard, jigsaw puzzles and my bill was around 5k. But it's definitely of value and a one -time visit.. so I recommend taking gifts for friends you know will value these things and probably not make it to the gallery.
