Review:
Traditional dances and performances, like the devil dance, Kolam, and Nadagam, were once very common in traditional Sri Lankan culture, and performers and participants of these rituals wore masks or used puppets. At the Traditional Puppet Art Museum in Colombo, visitors will learn about the uses for these puppets and see many examples of the wooden puppets that are typical of Sri Lankan culture. They can even see a puppet show, performed with musical instruments, or attend a lecture or seminar on the creation of puppets and their uses in performance. This museum is a great destination for families or for anyone interested in the arts.
