History
The three-storey gallery building was designed by Dean D'Cruz, and was completed in 2015 on the site of Kerkar's former studio. A sculpture garden at the site is present. Mog, the acronym for the museum, and a Konkani word, translates to "love".
The gallery opened on 6 November 2015 with an exhibition entitled 'Gopalapatanam', of work by 20 Indian artists – including Kerkar – on the topic of Goan history. Invitations to visit MOG were mailed to schools and colleges in the city.
Dutch artist Karin van der Molen's work "Mind Bubbles" was shown at MOG.
