The Tsunami Museum is a moving tribute to the victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and a reminder of the resilience of Sri Lanka’s coastal communities. Exhibits include photographs, personal stories, and preserved artifacts that tell the story of the disaster and the recovery that followed.
Visitors can learn about the science of tsunamis, the global relief efforts, and the importance of disaster preparedness. The museum also serves as a memorial space, encouraging reflection and respect for those affected.
It’s a sobering but important stop for travelers who want to understand more about the region’s history and the strength of its people. A visit here adds depth and meaning to your journey along Sri Lanka’s southern coast.
