Archaeological Museum

This museum, on the corner of the main road from Wellawaya and the road to the Buduruwagala Buddhas, has stone and terracotta artefacts from nearby Buduruwagala. The artefacts are interesting, but signage is generally in Sinhalese only.

Closed on poya days and public holidays.
