Unexpected but my children loved the exhibit here

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Small but very informative collection.. Visit this place if you are a museum person.. This has a nice collection of old flags in sri lanka. Old textiles and ancient artifacts belongings... read more to kotte eara.. photos are not allowed. The name of E.W. Perera cannot be forgotten in the resurgence of the state of Kotte. Not only that, he donated the house where the Kotte Urumaya museum is located, but he also gave the initial direction for the preservation of many treasures in Kotte. And there are some small library also there with several archiology books in the museum. In this pace you can study about Flags. Architectur of Kotte Era. Money and Economy. Specially you can learn about late E. W. Perera which was a National Hero who has contributed a lot towards the country

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

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.

I first visited this museum when I was just a little brat in primary school, and even now, it remains one of the most underrated places in Kotte. If you... read more live nearby, this is a hidden gem worth exploring. The museum holds a wealth of history about Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, showcasing artifacts and stories from its proud past as the ancient capital of the kingdom. Unfortunately, it doesn’t get the attention it deserves. The government should step in to preserve and promote this site before it fades into neglect. At the moment, entry is free, making it an excellent spot for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or just learning more about Kotte’s rich heritage.

Good

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.

Informative. One should definitely visit to learn more about the Kotte kingdom.

Very plain exhibition, but still worth visiting. Not allowed to take pictures. As I am a foreigner any guidance wasn't given, but I had to write my name in a... read more book for visitors. Good thing it's free of charge

Not crowded at all. Good place to study old Sri lankan flags and guns. There is a small archaeology library and book shop.

Most under visited place in Kotte. It's all about history

Very informative. Good place to be.

Memories ❤️ History

A lot to see though its a small museum.
