Lanka Mangrove Museum
Welcome to the Lanka Mangrove Museum, a unique and fascinating exhibition space that celebrates the world’s first museum dedicated to mangroves. We are dedicated to promoting awareness and understanding of mangrove forests, their vital ecological functions, and their cultural significance.
As you enter the museum, you’ll be immersed in a vibrant and interactive environment, designed to transport you to the heart of the mangrove forest. The exhibits showcase the incredible diversity of plant and animal life that thrives in this dynamic environment, as well as the unique adaptations that have evolved to cope with the challenges of living in such a harsh and ever-changing habitat.
