VISIT TO THE MUSIUM

 

One day I visited the Colombo museum with my two buddy. That day we haven’t lectures. So we decided to go to visit museum. It is so nearby our university. So that was a first day the three of us went to the museum. It was a very happy day. The three of us walked all over the whole museum.  

The major attraction in the main hall was the skeleton of a huge whale suspended from the roof. It was so massive that we. couldn't believe it. We visited another section where they had preserved the ancient jewelry and jewelry boxes with beautiful etching on them. There were ancient coins, pottery and some swords and daggers and shields used by ancient kings in the wars. The beautiful throne, crown and the sword of the last king Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe were also kept in a glass cabinet.

The place we were most interested in was the side that had things to do with the dance. There were various types of drums and images of drummers were very beautiful. There were also various masks  and masks from the Kolam plays. Sometimes we saw them, but not without fun.😉So we visited the museum, ate at the canteen, happily stopped and went to the hostel.
