The Diu Museum, also known as the Diu Fort Museum, is located within the historic Diu Fort in Diu, a Union Territory of India off the southern coast of Gujarat. The museum is a significant cultural and historical destination housed in the St. Thomas Church or St. Thomas Chapel. The church, dating back to 1598, was converted into a museum to preserve various artifacts. The museum displays a collection of catholic statues, stone inscriptions from bygone eras, antique wooden carvings, and idols. The preservation of the building's Gothic-style architecture adds to the charm and reflects the Portuguese colonial heritage as Diu was a Portuguese colony until 1961. The Diu Museum is a testimony to the rich history and craftsmanship of the region and provides a walk through the past, showcasing the blend of cultures that Diu has witnessed over centuries.

Nice facade

Could only view it from the outside since it was closed for repair / renovation work. The facade is beautiful.

it is the museum which is very old but the upkeep of the museum is not at the best level. It should have been maintained properly

Diu City...history walled in.

Diu Museum itself was closed for renovation. Actually this review is for the Diu City heritage walk organized by "Make it happen" which in itself was a wonderful effort. Story telling by Pavan Thorat ..

Interesting place, very nice garden up front. Poorly maintained. It could be a place to learn much about thr church and history of the island. Unfortunately it is not maintained properly.
