点评:There are three museums forming the Chitra Museums.
The best part is every visit is accompanied by a guide who provides an informed commentary on the exhibits and is able to answer questions. In our case, Hazel was an excellent guide and greatly helped our appreciation of all three museums.
The collections in all three museums are extremely well presented and documented. Taking the best part of 35 years for the owner to bring together they tell a fascinating story of Goa and India. The focus on the wheel in one of the museums brings together the world’s largest collection wheeled carts and palanquins, all of which are beautiful, but some exquisitely so with detailed carvings and inlays.
The agricultural museum has a fine collection of agricultural implements and provides an insight into the lives, culinary and agricultural practices of Goa.
Finally, the colonial Goa section houses artefacts from the Portuguese era showing the introduction of modern technology and the lives and lifestyles of the Indo-Portuguese.
Absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Chitra Museums as a great way to spend an hour or two learning more about Goa and India.

最棒的是,每次参观都有导游陪同,他们会提供专业的讲解,并解答游客的疑问。我们这次的导游Hazel非常出色,极大地帮助我们更好地欣赏了这三座博物馆。
三座博物馆的藏品都陈列得非常精美,资料翔实。馆主花费了近35年的时间才将这些藏品汇集在一起,讲述了一个引人入胜的果阿和印度的故事。其中一座博物馆专注于车轮的收藏,汇集了世界上规模最大的轮式马车和轿子藏品,每一件都精美绝伦,有些更是雕刻和镶嵌工艺精湛,令人叹为观止。
农业博物馆收藏了大量的农具,让游客得以深入了解果阿人的生活、饮食和农业实践。
最后,殖民时期的果阿展区陈列着葡萄牙殖民时期的文物,展现了现代科技的引入以及印度-葡萄牙人的生活方式。
我毫不犹豫地推荐奇特拉博物馆,这是花一两个小时了解果阿和印度的绝佳方式。
