Art and Craft Goa

Art & CraftGoa is a land, where aesthetic quality finds a natural expression. Goa has a rich and magnificent tradition of the classical arts & crafts. Over the years, Goans have contributed greatly to the world of poetry, music and the fine arts.

The major role played by the local craftsmen at the time of Portuguese colonisation can be seen in the exquisite furnishings and decorations used in residential houses, churches and chapels of that time. The Christian Art Museum at Old Goa projects some of the masterpieces of the Portuguese time.

The folk paintings of Goa have been speaking of different places, ancient temples, churches and palatial mansions to humble households. The paintings mostly portrays episodes from the epics - the Mahabharata and the Ramayana and the Puranas and also found are the scenes from the New Testament. Goa's gift of exquisitely carved rosewood and teak furniture, the terracotta figurines, the classical brass items and the unique gold jewelry designs speak volumes of the development of arts & crafts in the past age.
