Preserving the Past to enrich the Future

The ultimate museum of Goan Ethnography at Goa Chitra is a tribute by its founder Victor Hugo Gomes to his ancestors & their way of life, using age old wisdom passed through generations. It's an unique collection & display of traditional farming equipment & other ancient tools of trade set up against the backdrop of a traditional organic farm. Beginning with the original 200 privately collected items, the museum now has a collection of 4000 objects on display. The museum preserves its universality in its collection of artefacts in representing the culture of ancient Goa. Each of the artefact is supplemented by information that was collected by interviewing the elders of the community & through the study of its application in daily life. The concept of the museum is in holding with the philosophy that resources in today's world should not be wasted if their use is not necessary. Re-utilization & recycling of material like wood works, pillars, doors, railings & other materials from over 200 demolished traditional houses that have been recovered by the designer contribute to the contemporary outlook of the structure with its blend of traditional elements & modern technologies.
