A good place to visit in Galle Fort. It has a good collection of items used in Sri Lanka specially in colonial time. If you are a Sri Lankan I recommend to go with kids so they can learn so much of things, specially cultural related items and if you are an outsider, you can still get a bunch of history related knowledge and see many unique items there.
It's located in an old Dutch building. Very informative. Pay a visit if you are going to Galle fort.
I have been to this place year 2005 to collect information for my research project.
It is a good place to learn the history of the Southern Province as well as the whole of Sri Lanka
The Galle National Museum is established in the oldest Dutch building of the Galle fort, constructed in 1656. To aware the public on traditional cultural heritage of Southern Sri Lanka, the Department of National Museums developed this museum and opened to the public on 31st March 1986. Galle National Museum displays a wide range of archaeological and anthropological objects inherited in Southern region. Collection of traditional masks used in various rituals, collection of ornamental objects made up of turtle shells, ancient wooden carvings and a Beeralu collection are important visitor attractive exhibits in the museum. The influence of Dutch is depicted by the equipments used in Dutch ships came to the Galle harbor. Large water vessels, V.O.C. porcelain objects and arms and weapons used by the Dutch soldiers are among the exposition. The Galle National Museum plays an important role as a center of education in the Southern region.
This museum is small one in the galle fort that has antient items such as swords pots some accessories made with sea turtle shells :( and Chinese accessories statues plates paintings. Very smal ticket price to enter. Photographs are not allowed inside the museum. But with a permit you can get photos.
My Google Review # 000095. Not much to see. Small museum. Saw this one on the way to Mirissa. Located inside the Galle fort premises. Wasn't anything worth seeing inside. Extremely hot and humid inside the premises too. Paid some 1000LKR per person, if I correctly remember. It mainly showcases the history of Galle as a fort and Sri Lanka being ruled by different dynasties. Though this may be interesting to children from knowledge perspective.
