“One of the must visit places”

Jul 2020

This is a must visit place in trincomale. A very well arranged place. By visiting this place you can get an idea on how important trincomale has been as a strategic place in srilankan history. Highly recommend this place for school children.

“Very interesting historical insights!”

May 2019

I enjoyed touring this museum. It was my first time in Trincomalee, and the tour guide provided us with a lot of information about how this site is so unique historically.

Great restoration of an old colonial building

Feb 2018 • Solo

Interesting enough seeing the naval history of Trinco, but what is really impressive is the pictures of the old building in such a state of disrepair and see the difference now after the massive restoration work was completed.

For nerds of South Asian/military history

Feb 2018 • Solo

For the average Trinco tourist, this museum is likely not that interesting. But for someone particularly interested in Sri Lankan military history (like myself), this museum offered insight that you can’t find online or in many books. Artifacts have been sent from across Sri Lanka have been sent here for preservation and display.

Entry to the museum is free. I took my time at each exhibit and was able to finish it in 1 hour. The curator is a nice Sinhala exhibitor who speaks English proficiently, and was kind enough to walk me through the place and provide explanations. Trincomalee has a rich naval and maritime history that I encourage all visitors to explore.

Include a visit to this grand old building

Jan 2018 • Family

Really loved my visit to this amazing building with interesting contents. The museum itself is great and showcases much of Sri Lanka’s maritime history. Of equal interest to us was the building itself which has been restored with the assistance of the Dutch government. A grand building taking you back in time to perhaps a grander era of this country.

Please take some time to explore and entry is free.

Fantastic restoration - go for the guided tour

Jul 2017

On the face of it, there doesn't appear to be much inside the museum. However, definitely take the excellent guided tour from one of the in-house archaeologists who will talk you through the history of Sri Lanka and how it relates to the sea. To see the amazing restoration project on the building itself is also something. Strongly recommended.

One of a largest museum in Sri Lanka

Dec 2018 • Family

- This was located in Tricomalee which belongs to Sri Lanka Navy
- This is spread over large beautiful area that you should be visit :)
- You can see lots of all weapons and related accessories. So you can gather lots of knowledge about these if you are interesting.
- You can also see some British military equipment in side this museum.
- SL Nany members will help you get more details about any thing in this place.
- Better to go there with a vehicle since you have to travel more even inside the museum.
- Make sure Navy granted permission to you to enter to this place and you can request it on arrival or before visit this place by contacting them.
