Dharohar : National Museum of Customs and GST — Attraction in Goa

Everyone coming to panjim to explore goa and its culture should also visit this place to know how does our customs dept had intelligently retrived our cultural monuments like statues , coins and many other antiquities without any metal scanners or sensors in past decades. Staff members and security team are very polite and welcoming.

Hatts off to her and our Customs Dept.
