Abhayagiri museum is yet another placed to gain information regarding the oldest sacred city Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka. Abhayagiri museum was funded by the Government of China as a result of the friendship between our nations since from the past. It is a great opportunity for the tourists from all around the world.
This museum, south of the Abhayagiri Dagoba, is arguably the most interesting in Anuradhapura and contains a collection of squatting plates, jewellery, pottery and religious sculpture from the site

This museum, south of the Abhayagiri Dagoba, is arguably the most interesting museum in Anuradhapura and contains a collection of squatting plates, jewellery, pottery and religious sculpture from the site. There's a lot of information about the many monuments of Anuradhapura, and a small bookshop. The Chinese-funded building commemorates the 5th-century visit of Chinese Buddhist monk Fa Xian to Anuradhapura. Fa Xian spent two years (412–13 AD) living at Abhayagiri, translating Buddhist texts that he later carried back to China along the Silk Route.

This was actually a very interesting place! There are information boards in English as you look through the artifacts. Free entry with your day pass to Anuradhapura.

It is one of the most extensive ruins in the world and one of the most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage cities in the nation. Historically it was a great monastic centre as well as a royal capital, with magnificent monasteries rising to many stories, roofed with gilt bronze or tiles of burnt clay glazed in brilliant colors.
