Very informative. Good place to be.

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... read more 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.

Memories ❤️ History

කෝට්ටේ රාජධානිය සම්බන්ධව ගොඩක් දේවල් නොමිලේම දැනගත්තා. ටිකට් එකක් වත් ගන්න අවශ්‍ය නැහැ. පොඩි දරුවන්ට ගොඩාක් වැදගත්.

Few artefacts are available. If you like history it would be fun. No photos allowed unless you have prior approval. Entrance free.

Sacred Kotte kingdom

This museum is located in the house of late Mr. E W Perera. The museum has a collection of various artefacts ranging from flags, clothes, coins, pistols, swords, pottery, jewellery, statues,... read more etc. belonging to the 14th - 19th centuries. The museum provides a great insight into the lives of people who lived many centuries ago. The place is well maintained, and we were given an excellent tour with explanations about the important artefacts on display. This is a great place to visit with kids. The museum is open daily except on Tuesdays. Street parking is available.

A lot to see though its a small museum.

Small place but worth the visit. Can part the vehicle inside. Entrance free.

Good to have something of the kotte kingdom
