Goa Chitra is one of my favourite museums. Most museums stress the chronology of events, which can be boring. Goa Chitra is about lived history. It is also for people who are curious about how objects are designed. Tiny innovative objects that are used over and over again and then get forgotten as society moves on. They encapsulate lived history better than anything that can be found in books. Through objects that were used in daily lives, the museum gives you a sense of how Goans have lived their lives through the centuries. The highlight is the transport section of the museum where you can see the range of different types of carts people in India have used to travel. In Goa Chitra, you travel both across space and across time.
