We had only a short time, but were very impressed with the artistry and quality of the presentations. It appeals to international tourists as well as locals; English explations abound.

Detailed, organized and spacious place. There is an entrance fee. Don’t miss out if you are in Kandy, especially if you are visiting “Maligawa”.

Included in price of Temple of Tooth. You could easily spend 2 hours here reading everything, even if you rush through it’s still an hour. Don’t skip it, it’s really cool and the museum is unique and well maintained.

Very nice displays but I was not able to learn why there are differences among the countries' practices. Entrance to this museum is included in your Temple of the Sacred Tooth ticket, so worth a look when you are there.…
