The contribution of INTACH, the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage, to Goa has been the splendid restoration of the Reis Magos fort, located on the banks opposite Panaji and one which was once in a state of ruin. The project was undertaken in association with the UK-based Lady Hamlyn Trust.
Furthering its mission of conserving heritage, INTACH Conservation Institutes is now organizing an ‘Open Conservation’ workshop in association with The Museum of Christian Art, Old Goa wherein a special team of the Institute will undertake the conservation of some of the unique Indo-Portuguese textiles from the museum’s own exquisite collection.
As part of the workshop, there will also be a special component “‘Open House’ from March 4 to 11, 11 am to 1 pm to encourage the community, custodians of such unique textiles and the general public to view the conservation process and meet and interact with the conservations.
In 1984, Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) was registered as a society and founded with the vision to create a membership organization to stimulate and spearhead heritage awareness and conservation in India. Today INTACH is recognized as one of the world’s largest heritage organizations, with over 180 Chapters across the Country.
