  Abhayagiri museum is yet another placed to gain information regarding the oldest sacred city Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka. Abhayagiri museum was funded by the Government of China as a result of the friendship between our nations since from the past. It is a great opportunity for the tourists from all around the world. This museum, south of the Abhayagiri Dagoba, is arguably the most interesting in Anuradhapura and contains a collection of squatting plates, jewellery, pottery and religious sculpture from the site

  This museum, south of the Abhayagiri Dagoba, is arguably the most interesting museum in Anuradhapura and contains a collection of squatting plates, jewellery, pottery and religious sculpture from the site. There's a lot of information about the many monuments of Anuradhapura, and a small bookshop. The Chinese-funded building commemorates the 5th-century visit of Chinese Buddhist monk Fa Xian to Anuradhapura. Fa Xian spent two years (412–13 AD) living at Abhayagiri, translating Buddhist texts that he later carried back to China along the Silk Route.

  This was actually a very interesting place! There are information boards in English as you look through the artifacts. Free entry with your day pass to Anuradhapura.

  Good small museum showing finds from the area and interesting information about the sites around it. Bonus: Has a toilet, the only one we saw all morning.
