Its a nice place with very friendly staff. They have described their products clearly and gave us a chance to take photos of Masks and kolans. Show room in the upstairs had very nice but expensive items.
An excellent showcase of Sri Lanka's culture and heritage.
Great place to buy masks. Wide collection of masks from hundred years old to recent creations.
Very small "museum", the tour we were given was extremely fast (but free, tips welcome). The workshop is small, but you can have a look over the shoulder, which is nice. The shop is rather large, offers a lot standard mass-production items, but also some more unique items. Everything is quite expensive with fixed prices, no negotiation. If you are looking for the standard-items, buy them somewhere else. If you are looking for something different you might be lucky here. I bought a very abstract modern looking mask for 50€ (medium size).
The mask museum contains small library, mask workshop and museum with many displays of masks and tools used to make masks.
The mask carving is carried out in the workshop by using trunks of Kaduru tree.
They explain everything with out charging any fee. However you can make donations. Further facilities are available to purchase traditional masks.
