The museum not far from the Buddha Tooth Temple tells the history of the British colonial period. The lights are slightly dim. On the contrary, there is a sense of vicissitudes when you walk in. You can visit together on the way. The visit is mainly in English. If you want to visit seriously, it is best to do your homework. From gems to jewels, swords to crowns, the museum is filled with well-preserved exhibits from the Kingdom of Kandy, and the museum is now re-located inside the temple, a must-see for intellectuals, new historians and students.

The building of the Anuradpur Archaeological Museum is an old antique. You can get a rough understanding of the local history and humanities here, and mainly understand the development of Buddhist culture in this country. Many cultural relics are about the Buddhist faith of Sri Lanka. The museum is not very big, it can be visited in about an hour.

After visiting the Intrepid Mountain Shelita, you can use a little time to visit the Intrepid Mountain Museum next to it. The local tour guide said that it was built by the Chinese. There are not many exhibits inside, and most of them are some imitations. Some of them are specializing in the historical origins and development of foreign trade between the local and China, and China was really powerful at that time.

In addition to the China Pavilion, the others are all in English. It is recommended that English is very good to see. I almost only looked at the exhibits and didn't know what it meant. However, there was a little water in the China Pavilion, but I found that the Buddhas in the world looked different. You can enter the museum for free, a ticket to the temple entrance. Well designed and well furnished, Buddhist artifacts are grouped according to the state. We spent more time in this temple! Worth a visit.
