  Could be interesting for buddhists. Full history of the religion and how it spread over the world.

  This museum is a very good one explaining all class of Buddhism in the world. If you have bought the ticket for tooth temple, it is free for you to go.

  I visited the museum during my visit of the tooth temple. The museum is 1000times better than the temple. The different types of Buddhism is explained, the rooms are arranged according to each country - just impressive. I didn't expect it to be that great. Totally worth the price of 500 Rs.

  For us it was the most interesting museum in Sri Lanka. Nicely maps development of Buddhism and Buddhist culture in different countries.

  Very interesting museum. Explains how Buddhism spread to different countries at different times. We spent about 3 hours in there (it was raining really heavily), reading almost everything, but I started getting a little bored towards the end. There are some exhibits which are far more interesting than others. Some parts of the museum look very dated. Some of the information from room to room was contradictory. A lot of English mistakes, but it wasn't too bad. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. It's worth a visit.
