Located in Ambalangoda, the Ariyapala Mask Factory Museum celebrates the traditional craft of mask making, which has been in the museum’s founding Wijesuriya family for generations. The traditional mask of Sri Lanka was once used when performing the Sanni Yakuma, or Devil Dance, and other traditional performances. The carved wooden masks are created, formed into elaborate faces and expressions, colorfully painted, and made to emulate traditional tales and stories. At the Mask Museum and Workshop, visitors can see hundreds of these carved masks and learn about their historical usage in traditional Sri Lankan culture.
