1. Tsunami Photo Museum

Step away from the perfect beaches, sunsets and cocktails of Hikkaduwa for a moment, to pay this important piece of Sri Lankan modern history a visit. After taking a Tuk Tuk to the Turtle Sanctuary, we walked the short walk along the main road. Past the monument to the unknown dead, of the train that was his by the tsunami and past one of the actual train carriages. The museum is run by a lovely man who took us round each room, detailing the experience of the locals and his person stories. He lost family and still bares the scared on his body today of that fateful down in 2004. Some of the photos graphic but it’s incredibly sobering to remember this recent piece of the countries history. No entrance fee, the museum is run on donations. Which are donated to charities helping those who’s lives are still affected by the events today. The owner even tried to give us bus fare back to Hikkaduwa!

Genuine Batik is an unique art gallery with a great variety of batiks created by Mr.J.Hirantha Wimalarathne. I'm truely impressed by his talent and workshop. Mr. Hirantha is full of passion and he is eager to explain the technique he is using and he can show you around his workshop if you are even more interested in numerous steps required to create a batik. You can buy not only batiks different in size and colours but also tableclothes, shirts, bags and dresses. It's a great gallery situated in a beautiful garden.

We made our way down to Tangalle specifically to visit this small gallery. The artist is incredibly friendly and talented. He has been recognized within Sri Lanka and has won an international award. His shop was affected by the 2004 Tsunami; he lost 160 paintings. You can see several paintings hanging in the gallery that were recovered after the disaster. We bought two paintings that we felt epitomized our trip to Sri Lanka. Definitely worth a visit if you're in you're in the area.
