Bandaranaike, and the lasting legacy of his family. Housed within a historic building in a culturally rich part of the city, the museum preserves personal artifacts, photographs, documents, and memorabilia that chronicle the life and career of S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike as well as that of Sirimavo Bandaranaike, the world’s first female Prime Minister. The thoughtfully curated exhibits delve into the political evolution of Sri Lanka, highlighting the nation’s journey toward independence, the emergence of a new political identity, and the social reforms that defined an era. With an intimate atmosphere that encourages reflection, the museum offers visitors a comprehensive narrative of Sri Lanka’s modern political history and the transformative impact of the Bandaranaike dynasty on the country’s cultural and national identity.
