Goa Chitra Museum, Ethnographic museum in Benaulim, India.

The Goa Chitra Museum houses over 4,000 artifacts spread across three distinct sections focusing on land connections, non-mechanized vehicles, and Portuguese colonial influences.

Founded in 2009 by Victor Hugo Gomes, the museum emerged from his childhood collection of vintage artifacts and developed into a comprehensive repository of Goan material culture.

The museum displays an extensive collection of traditional farming implements, pottery, musical instruments, ancient carts, and palanquins that represent Goa's agricultural heritage.

Located on St. John the Baptist Church Road in Mondo-Waddo, the museum incorporates eco-friendly techniques, including bio-gas production and solar power for its energy needs.

The museum structure integrates materials from 300 demolished traditional houses, featuring woodwork, doors, windows, and pillars that connect past architectural elements with modern design.
