Established in 1877 by Sir William Henry Gregory, the Colombo National Museum in Sri Lanka showcases the country's rich cultural and natural heritage. Over the years, it has evolved into an internationally recognized institution under the leadership of Dr. P. E. P. Deraniyagala. With branch museums in Jaffna, Kandy, and Ratnapura, as well as a Department of National Museums, the museum offers a fascinating journey through history and themes.
