The Catholic Art Museum

It is an example of the state to ensure and protect the efforts of preserving of the Indo and Portuguese catholic art. The Museum of Christian Art showcases the wealth found in the various churches built by the Portuguese in Goa as well as some donations by private families. Intended to be a representative collection, every object displayed in the museum, reflects the immense wealth of the churches of Goa. Asia’s first Museum of Christian Art was initially located at the Seminary of Rachol, Salcette, and Goa, where it was inaugurated in 1994. The Museum is now relocated within the Convent of Santa Monica, Old Goa, in the vicinity of world Heritage Monuments.
