i didnt make photos inside. this museum in one of the family's house. it was very deep, i cried, when i arrived the part of the wall, where i found some draws of children, what they draw about the tsunami. there was some letters what some people wrote, how they felt, when they was here in srilanka on that day when the tsunami came. 2004. december26. this is the date what we cannot forget. tthere is no entrance fee, just one box. the family collect money. if u be in srilanka, have to go there

It was well worth to see this photo museum especially as it’s been set up by a surviving fisherman who told us all about his own experience. Very impressive and soul touching

Was very informative about the 2004 tsunami, Lal was very generous in telling his personal experience of his own family’s survival. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to know about the tsunami. Some graphic images. - Cole family

A very moving and direct presentation of how the tsunami effected Sri Lanki and the local area in particular. Run to benefit the child survivors, well worth a visit and an appropriate donation. The area is still recovering.

A privately owned museum. They don't inform that the entrance fee is 500 rupees until you reach the second room of the museum and feel obliged to pay. Prefer the two other ones that are s bit further down the road and use donations for charity.

We found the museum very informative and recommend it to anyone who would like to learn about tsunami. We would suggest a sign or a warning that there are very confronting images for children.

Be aware that locals have pointed out this is not the official museum. It's privately owned. It saw it only contains print outs from Google and photos (copy) of the original photos that are displayed in the real museum next block (Community Tsunami Education Center & Museum). It's not illegal I suppose, as anyone can set up a photography exhibition, but truly sad to exploit tourist's generosity and the tsunami's horror for profit.

Really good but sad experience. The people of the museum explain everything very well and are very kind. The pictures are sad and sometimes disturbing but it was reality. Great museum!
