Not only was it wonderful to be houseguest in Geoffrey Bawa's Colombo home, but to be looked after by the kindred spirit of Rohana, a 'butler' who served Mr Bawa in his late years too, was absolutely wonderful. What gracious people in that house. I cannot fault anybody for anything. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to study the home and have a really good guided tour on top of it with manager Priyanka and on the side with dear Rohana. thank you!

An ideal place for historians but might be boring for those who have no interest on digging the history of their vacation spot. Magnificent collection of artifacts belong to different eras of the Sri Lankan history perfectly separated in to different sections providing proper guidance to travellers. Depicts includes cultural, archeological, zoological, botanical and many more. Full skeleton of the majestic Sri Lankan tusker, Heiyyanthuduwe Raja can be seen at the place. Popular location amongst school kids. It will take about 02 hours to cover all sections. Careful when taking photographs.

One could see a variety of gemstones and a huge collection of jewelleries. Gem Museum, as its name says has every collection that one could never miss admiring. Our staff would offer you a high quality service which will help you the most in selecting a precious product. We do have a small museum and a mine demonstration just to give clients an idea of how gem mining is done. Also please note that this is a gem shop not a museum (has a small museum as an attraction) and entrance is FREE of charge. You could have a free cup of tea and enjoy learning about gems and jewellery making. Thank you Managing Director
