Puppet shows hold a lot of meaning and importance in Sri Lankan culture. So this museum is single handedly responsible for upholding a lot of the fold tradition and values of the island country even to this day. Keep note that the demand for these places is really high and so it is better to just book your seats as early as you can. Perfect for all age groups, it is sure to bring entertainment and joy to many. The way the artists manage to flaunt and work with their attractive and multi colored puppets is a sight to behold in itself. Location: It is located at Dehiwala, in close proximity to the Galle. Timings: The museum is open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, all days of the week.
