Visited the Maritime Archaeology Museum during my trip to Galle Fort and it was a very interesting and educational experience. The museum is located inside a historic Dutch warehouse within the fort, which itself adds to the atmosphere of the visit.
The exhibits showcase Sri Lanka’s maritime history, including artifacts recovered from shipwrecks, models of ancient ships, traditional fishing methods, and information about marine ecosystems. Some of the items on display are hundreds of years old and give a fascinating insight into the island’s role in international sea trade and seafaring history.
The displays are informative and well arranged, making it easy to understand the story behind each artifact. It usually takes around an hour to explore the museum comfortably. If you are visiting Galle Fort and interested in history, archaeology, or the ocean, this museum is definitely worth a stop.
