Calizz (meaning "Heart" in Konkani) is a "living museum" that explores Goan life across centuries. Established by Nandan Kudchadkar to house his father's 50-year-old collection, it is set within restored 18th-century Indo-Portuguese mansions and traditional Hindu mud houses, offering a narrative-driven look at Goan culture.
The collection includes traditional furniture, household items, medical instruments from the colonial era, and cultural artifacts spanning the Portuguese and pre-Portuguese periods.
All About Alcohol: Calizz houses the world's first and only museum dedicated to the history and culture of alcohol, specifically focusing on the legacy of Goan Feni. It also features a rare mini-medical museum set within a 100-year-old doctor’s consulting room recreation.
