The National Maritime Museum ? A glimpse of the wonders of the sea
The tropical paradise of Sri Lanka enjoys a close connection with the sea as the entire perimeter of the country is surrounded by the aquamarine waters of the Indian Ocean. The island’s picturesque beaches and seas are home to many hidden secrets and wondrous treasures, some of which can be glimpsed upon visiting the National Maritime Museum in Galle. The museum lies close to the Old Gate of the historic Galle Fort in an ancient Dutch warehouse that dates back to the 16th century. Visitors to the museum will be able to see numerous exhibits and artefacts that relate to the splendour of underwater life, sea-faring, fishing and maritime trading.
