I love this place Bcz there is so many things to know about Jesus christ... N old things wch is Starting from 9th centuries...

Provides very enlighted information about history of Portuguese n their presence in Goa. U vl find huge variety of artefacts, especially ships/boats. Well maintained though upper floor need to work upon. There is entry fee of Rs.10 per person. It is just adjacent to St. Francis's church. Photography is not allowed here.

Must visit if you want to know the history of Goa. Lot of information I got to know and was able to recollect all that was thought in school. Unfortunately we cannot take pictures or film any section of this museum. Don't forget to see the statue of Alfonso de Albequerque whose navigation helped vasco da gama to reach calicut.

This museum is having artifacts n old paintings, statues n other historical pieces beautifully carved n preserved. A good place to visit while visiting bom Jesus church.
