Visited
the
Museum
of
Goa
in
October
2023
and
it
has
a
lot
of
abstract
art
on
display.
The
entry
fee
for
an
Indian
adult
is
Rs
300
per
head.
It's
free
entry
for
students
and
those
below
the
age
of
18.
I
felt
the
entry
ticket
was
on
the
expensive
side,
but
since
this
is
a
privately
run
Museum,
the
charge
made
sense.
The
building
is
excellently
maintained
and
artworks
are
spread
over
three
floors,
with
a
lift
access
too.
There's
also
a
small
air-conditioned
theater
where
they
play
a
15
minute
documentary
about
the
founder.
The
reason
I
am
rating
it
3
on
5
stars
is
because
almost
80%
of
the
art
on
display
was
by
the
founder
of
the
place
Subodh
Kerkar.
Even
the
15
minute
documentary
was
just
Subodh
Kerkar
going
on
and
on
about
his
art.
There's
no
doubt
that
some
of
Mr
Kerkar's
art
projects
are
quite
interesting
and
give
a
unique
perspective
to
Goan
life.
For
example,
there's
a
small
display
of
decorated
chillies
in
the
third
floor,
which
symbolise
how
Portuguese
traders
introduced
chili
peppers
to
India
via
Goa.
I
would've
however
loved
to
see
more
art
by
other
artists
too
and
couldn't
help
but
feel
that
Museum
of
Goa
was
a
vanity
project
by
the
founder.
There's
enough
space
in
the
museum
for
more
diverse
works
to
be
displayed.
Regardless,
it's
worth
a
one
time
visit
if
you
are
in
the
area
and
are
an
art
enthusiast.
There's
also
a
very
pretty
garden
on
the
outside
with
a
cafe.
In-fact,
the
food
&
drinks
were
surprisingly
reasonably
priced.
They
had
cold
coffee
for
Rs
100
and
masala
tea
for
Rs
30
&
regular
coffee
for
Rs
50.
