We visited the place in the first week of January 2022 with family. It is an excellent place to showcase our children about the art and culture. We thoroughly cherished the visit. Its rare to find such passionate personal collection. The museum is very organized and the guide very knowledgeable. We were staying at Simply Home-stay, ~900 m from this place and the museum owner was kind enough to drop us back. A must visit place in Goa.

I decided to visit this place just to kill time. But it turned out to be such a good choice. The place is amazing with so many artifacts, in a beautiful ambience. The guides were excellent and patient in explaining things. They even added what the things were called in my mother tongue, which was incredible.
