This museum occupies the upper two floors of the Alut Maligawa building and contains a stunning array of gifts donated to the temple by several presidents and Buddhist leaders from across the world. Letters and diary entries from the British time reveal the colonisers’ surprisingly respectful attitude to the tooth relic. More recent photographs reveal the significant damage caused by a truck bomb detonated by the LTTE in 1998.
The Audience Hall is located within the compound of the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and accessed on the same ticket.
