Historical Mansion Museum

This museum is owned to an individual and he is maintain it by himself. We dont need to buy a ticket. They have very value items. Even a stamps collection. Highly recommend.

I visited Mr. Ameen's museum with two of my philatelic enthusiastic friends on last Saturday. We informed him earlier as we wished to meet him too. He was away for some business by the time we went there but, he left all his work behind and came to greet us. That's not all, he showed us everything he has and gave us a nice briefing of the history of his fantastic collection of antique which span almost like half a century. He was very informative and knew what he's talking about. Then he took us to another place belongs to him and showed us what's he's planning to do within next few weeks and he even offered us refreshments. It's a time well spent for all of us. I encourage you all to pay this nice gentleman a visit if you happened to go to Galle fort.

Entrance free. Friendly staff. We had a great time. Definitely a hidden gem. Only a few visitors even though it was a weekend. So much valuable place to visit if you love to see the history of colonial time.

Quirky small museum with a collection of just about anything set in a restored Dutch house. Kind of loved this place, full of everything from old cameras and ceramics to swords and typewriters. Free admission, but donations recommended. They ask you to not touch the glass cases or speak loudly. Tourists too often ignore this, but please respect their wishes. You are guests and should behave accordingly. Definitely worth a visit

I don’t think there’s any fee…at least we didn’t have to pay. We stopped by the museum by accident as it was raining a lot but it turned out to be a great educational session! The museum does have a lot of ancient valuables from the Dutch ship wreck. It’s amazing to see those hundreds-years-old items are well kept. There’s also a gen store inside the museum; the gentlemen there were very kind and friendly. They showed me many options of what I was looking for without forcing on a purchase. I didn’t buy anything as I needed to explore more options but they do have good gems with certification.

Impressive collection in a authentic and fabulous old great home. Free entry, with a single gentle suggestion to visit their jewellery shop.

We can get knowledge about ancient things and we can learn theirs lifestyle... Useful for students and everyone who want to learn about them

Loved it! But it was so hot we ended up going to the jewelry store attached to it (just to cool down) which resulted in totally unintentional purchase of quite a few precious stones!
