National Museum of Colombo
Colombo National Museum
Why locals love it
Established during 1877, this is the biggest museum in the island nation and is undoubtedly the pride of Sri Lanka. The place houses some of the best and personalised collections of the ancient Kandyan dynasty rulers.
Why you should visit it
The museum’s library deserves special mention as it contains rich manuscripts in palm leaves in languages like Burmese, Sinhala, Telugu, Tamil and much more.
Special tip
If you are a history lover and have a keen eye for architecture, the National Museum is probably one of the first few places to visit in Colombo.
