Goa Chitra Museum, Ethnographic museum in Benaulim, India.
Goa Chitra Museum is an ethnographic museum in Benaulim that houses over 4,000 objects collected over time. These items are organized across sections covering farming implements, non-mechanized vehicles, and colonial period influences.
The museum was founded in 2009 and grew from a personal collection of vintage objects gathered over time. This private passion eventually transformed into an important archive of Goan material culture.
The museum displays everyday farming tools and household objects that shaped life in Goa over generations. These items reflect how people worked the land and managed their homes in this region.
The museum is located in Mondo-Waddo and is built using eco-friendly technologies including solar power and bio-gas systems. Visitors should allow enough time to explore the various collections and their details.
The building incorporates materials from roughly 300 demolished traditional houses in the region. Wooden elements, doors, windows, and pillars give the structure itself a historical character that blends the past with the present.
