National Puppet Museum
About
The local business National Puppet Museum in Sri Lanka occupies a building at 34, Karagampitiya, Angarika Dharamapala Mw, Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia 10350, Sri Lanka. That address places the museum on the western coast, just south of Colombo and within reach of Negombo, Bentota and Galle along the main coastal routes.
As a museum, the venue devotes itself to the display and preservation of puppetry. Visitors give it 4.1 out of 5 from 40 reviews, a modest but consistent response. Its website at http://www.puppet.lk/ carries further information about the collection.
First-time visitors should expect a compact museum rather than a large national institution, with three photos giving a sense of the displays. The Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia setting puts it in a suburban stretch of the coast, so a visit can be combined with a journey towards Mirissa, Unawatuna or Arugam Bay.
Sri Lanka's railway network reaches across the island, and the hill-country line from Kandy to Ella is a popular route for travellers. The southwest and west coasts stay driest from December to March, while the east coast suits visits from May to September. Coconut, sambol and curry leaves shape the island's cooking, and Ceylon tea grows in the central highlands, which are cooler and wetter than the coastal plains.
