Archaeological Museum of Goa
The Archaeological Museum of Goa is located in Old Goa, housed in the former convent of the Church of St. Francis of Assisi. Established in 1964 by the Archaeological Survey of India, the museum showcases a rich collection of artifacts that span various periods of Goan history. The museum is divided into eight galleries, each dedicated to a specific era, from pre-colonial times to the Portuguese colonial period.
Some of the highlights include pre-colonial artifacts such as hero stones, sati stones, and sculptures of Hindu deities. There are also artifacts from the Portuguese colonial era, including portraits of Portuguese Governors and Viceroys, coins, and religious artifacts. The museum also features exhibits on Goa’s naval history, including hero stones depicting naval battles and a model of a 16th-century Portuguese ship.
