Maritime Archeological Museum (Galle)

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.

National Maritime Museum near the old gate of the gale fortress in sri lanka, $5. This museum was transformed from a Dutch warehouse built in 1716. After entering, watch the video. The video hall has enough air conditioning. It can be said that the second floor of the most air-conditioned place in all the scenic museums in Sri Lanka, so people don’t want to go out when they sit in it. The exhibits are nothing special, there are replicas of Zheng He's monuments in the West, jars with ginger juice, etc. This jar is quite big, we guess whether it is used for Ginger beer. It's okay to go shopping in idleness.

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.
