Sri lanka National Museum




Today I am going to post about Sri lanka National Museum. Earlier, it was called The Colombo Museum, and it was established 1877 first of January. At this time, sri lanka is governed by British Government. . Sir William Henry Gregory was the British Governor of Sri Lanka at that time. He was the main founder for establish a museum. 

At this, current time is one of two museums in Colombo, and it is sri lanka largest museum. At this moment, it is maintained by the Department of National Museum.  The museum holds sri lanka ancient things such as regalia of the sri lankan past kings. Even it holds most important historical things.
