Beautifully restored museum that is part of a 400-year old convent and perched on the Holy Hill in Old Goa. The museum houses some of the most treasured artifacts of Christian Art that represent a wonderful fusion of Portuguese and Indian artistic talent and craftsmanship.
This museum is not to be missed and is a mere 15-minute walk from the Basilica of Bom Jesus.

We took the walking tour of the Holy Hill conducted by MoCA. I have to say it was a really awesome and highly informative experience.
There are so many tiny unknown gems of historic and symbolic significance that we are unaware of.
Our tour guides Noah and Fraiser were a treasure trove of these hidden facts and are happy to engage and share their knowledge.
Their dedication and insights with regard to architecture as well as history is outstanding.
This isn't a regular 'guided tour'. It is very interactive and also a fun experience, not straight laced and sombre.
The walk lasts about 3 hours (average) and covers the main monuments of the oldest church OUR LADY OF ROSARY, THE ROYAL CHAPEL OF ST ANTHONY, RUINS OF ST AUGUSTINE, CHURCH OF ST MONICA and the MUSEUM of CHRISTIAN ART
There were so many surprises- A tree of life, a Jain influenced plaque, a fort like facade that's actually a church inside, a rain water harvesting system and so much more to discover.
The museum has been very well designed, laid out and built. There are some fabulous artifacts, art works, stauary and lots more that is very well presented and displayed.
One has to appreciate the conservation work that is a constant battle against the elements and (at times)uncivil visitors to the precincts. Both MoCA and ASI need to be lauded for this.
Considering the nominal charge for the tour, we were treated to some exceptionally great light refreshments at the cafe. (You don't have to be on a tour to enjoy the Cafe!! )
All in all this is lovely and eye opening way to spend a morning.
Oh yes, one more thing... our tour group were privileged to have Fraiser sing for us in the magnificent acoustics of the museum.

We visited this small museum in an old convent right after our walking tour of Old Goa, and it was well worth the effort. The museum is small and beautifully presented and curated, with some magnificent pieces of art. The small church with its old ceramic tiles is also interesting. There is a small gift shop with nice things and a garden cafe. Highly recommended!

What I think needs to be done to increase footfall at the museum is to add explanations about basic Christian concepts like what a tabernacle monstrance is, and why Mary is called by so many names - Immaculate Conception and Lady of the Rosary and so on. Unless visitors, especially those not familiar with these terms, are clear about these concepts, the exhibits would become dolls that do not talk; objects that do not tell a story.
Among the many sculptures and carvings of divine figures in typical Christian costumes like cassocks and flowing gowns at the museum, I spotted an intriguing 4-inch ivory sculpture draped in a saree. It was titled Nirmala Matha. No other detail was provided, except that it was from the 20th century; and that it was a donation from a priest in Benaulim.
She stood bare feet on a lotus. She had her hair left loose, wore a crown and a necklace and was surrounded by an ornamentation (like ‘Daaker Saaj’ behind Durga idols) of conches, most probably. If I weren’t in the Museum of Christian Art, I would have mistaken her for a Hindu Goddess, maybe Lakshmi or Saraswati.
But then, there was the crescent moon on which Mother Mary stands, and there was the typical tilt of her head, and the dove right above.
So who is this Nirmala Matha?
Not able to withhold my curiosity any longer, I checked the internet. Nirmala is Hindi for Pure. Immaculate. She was the Immaculate Mother (Mary).
Ever since the beginning of the Portuguese occupation of Goa, there has been an amalgamation of the West and the East, the global and the local, Portugal and India, but never have I seen an intermingling of the two as pronounced as what I saw here.
PS: I always thought ivory was dead/murdered elephant tusk. Here I got to know that it could be Hippopotamus teeth as well (and on checking the internet, I found it could also be walrus and warthog and whale).

The Museum of Christian Art is located next to the Convent of St. Monica and not too far from the Se Cathedral and Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa. Housed in a recently renovated building, the museum offers a good collection of Indo-Portuguese artefacts, which shaped Goa as we know it today.
The collection is spread across 2 floors, but at times, the display seemed rather random. Also, a separate charge is payable for taking photos, which along with the entrance fee, makes a visit to this museum a rather expensive affair. One can spend around 30 minutes here,

It has a good collection of artifacts. Best to visit with someone (Catholic parents in my case) who has some knowledge of the significance of the items for the Christian culture.

This museum is right in front of the famous St. Augustine Tower. This is a museum where you can find different cultures. The art is very well displayed in a compact place. If you love art then you must and should visit this place (That doesn't mean its not meant for the people who are not interested in art). On a whole its worth visiting for everyone.

Построен в 1590 году. Был разработан Иезуитскими священниками для размещения Гоанской семьи Podiars, которая взяла имя Фигейредо. Им владеет семья, которая открыла здесь музей, есть и жилая территория, на которой живут сами и где могут остановиться приезжие. Есть кафе. Роскошный интерьер дома окружают рисовые поля и кокосовые пальмы. Плитку для пола импортировали из Италии, в столовой и бальном зале полы из тикового дерева, люстры и бра из бельгийского хрусталя, фарфор из Китая и Японии, мягкие стулья из Португалии. Рекомендую посетить эту португальскую виллу. Думаю, что никто не останется равнодушным. Экскурсию по комнатам проводил внук хозяйки, которой уже за 80 лет. В этом интересном месте я оказалась благодаря экскурсии "Гоа - маленькая Португалия" от "Путеводной звезды" с гидом Борисом.
