House Of Museums

The House of Museums is the brainchild of Anake Nawigamune. It's a collectors' museum that exhibits replicas of old shops in neighborhood markets in the first half of the 20th C. It’s a private museum managed by volunteers from the Cultural Affairs Association. The museum was first opened on 14 July 2001 but during the disastrous floods at the end of 2011, it was badly damaged. Volunteers worked hard at repairs and the museum was reopened on 14 July 2012.
