Big-foot Museum

Big-foot Museum A miniature Goan village set up to recreate the rural life of old days. It is privately run by an artist called Maendra Jocelino Araujo Alvares. The open-air museum recreates Goan rural life as it was a hundred years ago. A major attraction of this museum is a 14 meter sculpture of Sant Mirabai built in just 30 days. The sculpture and its creator Maendra Jocelino Araujo Alvares have made their way into the ‘Limca Book of Records’ for being the longest laterite sculpture in India. One more interesting fact is this museum is also called as Big Foot, for a footprint on a rock that is worshipped by the people here.
