Natural History Museum
Housed in the same building as the National Art Gallery, this collection is a hit and miss affair with stuffed birds and animals displayed in cases showing their natural habitat, and sections dealing with Sri Lanka's geology climate, and plant life. The most Striking display is of an elephant's Skeleton, and there are also displays which focus on some of the country's ambitious hydro-electric and irrigation engineering schemes.
Open 09.00 - 17.00 Daily.
