“Often known locally as the Katu Ge (derived from the Sinhalese word for a museum, kautukagaraya), which literally means “house of bones”, the Colombo National Museum is one of the city’s most striking buildings. Sprawling across its own park-like grounds in the middle of Cinnamon Gardens, the museum is a worthwhile visit for anyone planning to tour Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle. The sheer size of the monuments in the ancient cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa can be overwhelming, and a few hours at the museum will be a well spent introduction to the finer points of the country’s history.”
