The museum’s collection of over 800 artefacts stretches from the 7th Century AD till present date. It includes statues, objects, furniture, photographs and of course costumes, jewellery & accessories.
Casa Dona Maria, as the house was named, is an unregistered heritage house dating to the late 1500’s for the ground floor to the mid 1750’s to 1850’s for the rest of the structure. After acquisition by the founding Trustee in 1993 (from late Olinda Braganza), various additions were made in the last 25 years keeping in mind the design and constructions techniques of the past.
The restoration being carried out at present is in line with the requirements of world class heritage conservation
standards.
