It is housed in the Convent of Santa Monica on the Holy Hill at Old Goa and is run under the Archdiocese of Goa and Daman. The museum reopened on 23 May 2022 after a full upgrade of its galleries. It is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm, with the ticket counter closing at 4:30 pm; entry is ₹100 for adults and ₹50 for students. It also hosts talks, guided tours and occasional recitals.
