(MOG) Museum of Goa.
Museum of Goa Foundation is a non-profit organisation that aims to give people from underprivileged communities the chance to engage with art. With the belief that art is a catalyst for social change, we strive to engage people through art education and professional collaborations.
The Museum, founded by Goan artist, Subodh Kerkar, in 2015, seeks to bring art and local history to larger audiences in an attempt to bridge the cultural gap in the country. Apart from taking contemporary art to the larger public, we are also a pedagogical experiment in narrating history.
