  The location is pretty cool and calm. Traditional masks are exhibited in style. It'd be more useful going to the museum, accompanying a team. Workshop is also permitted to observe.

  Historical cultural and folkloric place which tells about the life, customs, traditions and dance, drama and superstitions of the people. Very well preserved.

  A museum with many faces. This is one of the places where the Sri Lankan masks are manufactured. There is a workshop in the ground floor where you see how they make these masks and other mementos. A n employee will also give you a brief on how it is made. The show room is on the mezzanine floor. Masks of different types, shapes and sizes. But there is feeling that they are priced at a premium. You can buy these masks elsewhere for a lesser price

  Tradition handed over from generations. Masks used for religious ceremonies and to convey social messages. Made out of balsa wood and hand painted with natural dyes and colours. There's a beautiful small museum below the shop to help people understand the history of masks.

  Nice place. We can learn all the things about masks. Taking pictures is prohibited in the museum. Workers are nice. They explained everything step by step.
