Dutch Period Museum
Built during the second half of the 17th century as the residence of Count August van Ranzow, the Dutch East India Company's governor in Colombo, this attractive old building at 95 Prince Street is one of the few sur- viving remnants of Colombo's Dutch colonial heritage. On the fringes of Pettah, it is surrounded by market stalls and antique shops. Its rather chaotic collection includes coins, weapons, pottery, portraits and furniture from the period of Dutch rule, and also traces the descent of the dwindling 'Burgher' community.
Open : saturday - Thursday
Time : 09:00-17:00.
