2 Goa State Museum

The Goa state museum building has faced issues since its construction due to ineffective design choices. The flat roof was not suitable for Goa's heavy rainfall. The foundation was also inefficient and caused settling over time. Additionally, the architecture did not reflect Goa's culture and the conservation laboratory and library were too small. Due to lack of maintenance, the building condition has deteriorated and parts have had to close. The fire exits were also inadequate.
