An insider's guide to Colombo, Sri Lanka - SilverKris

"Housed in a sprawling colonial mansion dating from 1877, it contains an impressive collection spanning botany to art; notable highlights include a royal throne made for King Wimaladharma in 1693 and weaponry from the colonial era." - SilverKris
