Maritime Archeological Museum (Galle) Review

The National Maritime Museum is one of the few museums in the local area. The museum is not very big and cannot be compared with the large museums, but the exhibits here are quite rich, and they are also good for the history of Sri Lanka.

The Galle National Maritime Museum is Sri Lanka's only museum that introduces the history of navigation, marine life and human studies. The Maritime Museum has been rebuilt from a fortress warehouse. It has a mottled appearance and a sense of vicissitudes of time. But there are holes in it. It displays a large number of underwater excavations. Many exhibitions are equipped with sound and animation and short films to show the past, present and future of the sea. Come on.

The Maritime Museum is one of Sri Lanka's rare modern museums. The exhibition design is very modern, but the tickets are a little expensive. Foreigners need more than 60 RMB and locals only need 1 RMB. But it's still very good that all of them come. It contains coins from the Ming Dynasty of China and an inscription engraved in Chinese.

Coming to Galle Castle again to visit the Maritime Museum, the exhibition focuses on the ancient shipwrecks salvaged in the nearby waters. The announcer told us that the first stop of Zheng He's fifth trip to Sri Lanka was Galle.

To be a maritime museum, it's better to go in earlier, because some of the tourist spots in Gallago will close early. Museum itself is charged, the price is general, the visibility is not too high.
