THANKS for swiftly upgrading my status in "Of Museums . . . and more" from a
headstone to a "Footnote". It stands appreciated. :)

Mighty sad -- you are not into politics or a politician because as CM, Goan
politics could do well with a harvest of headstones rather than the 24/7
showering of footnotes, bootnotes and lootnotes! :)

Most impressive website and certainly deserving of applause for your efforts in
not only bringing this one to light, but in also offering to bring other
notable causes into the limelight. Equally worthy of comment and commendation
is your drive with which you spread and stretch yourself beyond the boundaries
of journalism, and accomplish as much as you do as if the sun never sets
outside your window!
To your glowing list of Museums . . . and more, perhaps, you may wish to
consider the following:
1. Galleria Esperanca, situated in St. Estevam, and containing the works
of the late Franjoao (Francis Joao Fernandes). Franjoaos paintings also adorn
the sacristy of the Bom Jesus Basilica.
2. The Bom Jesus Basilica art gallery.

0ptgs%20index.htm
This gallery was established in 1976 and quite easily, is the first and largest
one of its kind in the eyes of onlookers. With the exception of the
Archaeological Museum in Old Goa, the Basilica art gallery predates most if
not all the galleries and museums mentioned in your list. However, it might be
of consolation to you that the Basilica art
gallery was also overlooked by Rudolf Ludwig aka Kammermeier when he helped
the Goa Tourism (of 365 days on holiday fame) to put together a tourist guide
for museums, galleries and places with cultural activities.
Another forgotten icon is Inacio Vaz, whose paintings adorn the entrance to the
Professed House of the Jesuits in Old Goa. The possibility of many others
being similarly overlooked cannot be underestimated.
In my earlier leisure, I had compiled a text/pictorial list of 'Whos Who among
Goans' and got only so far after enduring the Goan action and reaction.
Perhaps, you could do better. But be sure to include all, because unlike the
elixir of the enemy of my enemy is my friend, you dont want to befriend a
Goan animus! :)
