National Railway Musuem

About National Railway Musuem

Housed in the Hill Country town of Kandy, the National Railway Museum offers visitors an insight into Sri Lanka's railway heritage. As with most transport museums of this kind, it preserves a collection of locomotives, rolling stock and railway artefacts that trace the development of the island's rail network. Visitors can wander among the exhibits, which typically include vintage engines and carriages, and learn about the history of rail travel in the country. The museum appeals to both enthusiasts with a particular interest in rail history and general visitors curious about how the railways shaped Sri Lanka's landscape and economy. Its location in Kandy makes it a convenient addition to an itinerary that already takes in the city's better-known cultural and historical attractions.
