The museum not far from the Buddha Tooth Temple tells the history of the British colonial period. The lights are slightly dim. On the contrary, there is a sense of vicissitudes when you walk in. You can visit together on the way. The visit is mainly in English. If you want to visit seriously, it is best to do your homework. From gems to jewels, swords to crowns, the museum is filled with well-preserved exhibits from the Kingdom of Kandy, and the museum is now re-located inside the temple, a must-see for intellectuals, new historians and students.

In addition to the China Pavilion, the others are all in English. It is recommended that English is very good to see. I almost only looked at the exhibits and didn't know what it meant. However, there was a little water in the China Pavilion, but I found that the Buddhas in the world looked different. You can enter the museum for free, a ticket to the temple entrance. Well designed and well furnished, Buddhist artifacts are grouped according to the state. We spent more time in this temple! Worth a visit.

This museum is very small, just next to the Buddha Tooth Temple. After visiting the Buddha Tooth Temple, you have to go through. There are specimens of elephants here. Many instructions record the story of this elephant in the previous Buddha Tooth Festival as a mount dragging the master. Just look at it.

The museum is housed in a two storeys building. The galleries on the ground floor are arranged in a historical sequence starting from the prehistoric ages. The galleries on the upper floor are arranged on a thematic basis. Be prepared to spend a few hours in the museum if you are interested in the history of Sri Lanka as the museum houses a huge collection of artifacts. There are also many statues of Buddha. You can find one of the most well-preserved statues of Buddha from the fourth century in the lobby.
