This small museum, located in an old house, isn't well known and neither is the Kingdom of Kotte. Most of the palace and other structures were destroyed by the Portuguese but Colombo's ever expanding development has seen further destruction of what was left and even encroachment on the ruins. I couldn't get good photos of the artefacts on display but the posters give a lot of useful information about the Kingdom of Kotte.
A very attractive place for people who seek information. A good collection of artifacts. It’s free and worthwhile visiting. There is a bookshop where you can buy many books published by department of archaeology
Few artefacts are available. If you like history it would be fun. No photos allowed unless you have prior approval. Entrance free.
Good to have something of the kotte kingdom
