The intriguing coastal town of Kalutara has a lot to offer and one place that you definitely shouldn’t miss is Ranjith’s Carving and Batik Museum which offers an intimate glimpse into traditional Sri Lankan arts and crafts.
This museum functions both as an exhibition space of sorts as well as a shop simultaneously, allowing visitors to purchase anything that meets their fancy, as well as providing local artists with a platform to showcase and trade their art. It’s one of the best places to visit in Kalutara for a unique shopping experience.
This concept has been practiced in Sri Lanka for millennia and is a cultural hallmark with many artisans who have attained unprecedented mastery of their art.
