The Colombo National Museum, also known as the Sri Lanka National Museum, is a museum in Colombo and the largest in Sri Lanka. Founded in 1877 and maintained by the Department of National Museums, it holds collections of significant importance to Sri Lanka, such as the regalia of the Kandyan monarchs, as well as many other exhibits relating the country's cultural and natural heritage.
Our first day in Sri Lanka began with a whistle stop bus tour of Colombo en route to our first destination.

That's moi posing in front of a 0-4-0ST locomotive at the Colombo Railway Museum.. I'd been looking forward to seeing the museum for several months now, so all in all, it was a big disappointment. Apart from being unbelievably cramped and impossible to walk down the platform (as seen), a pack of stray dogs around the area made my driver guide very uncomfortable indeed, and he wanted me to leave the place immediately. (Sri Lanka, June 2011).
Overview of the Colombo Railway Museum. The stock was parked one behind the other, with exhibits on the platform itself (as seen), meaning no space to walk down the platform. The other platform (far side) had huge water tanks stored on it (as seen). So this is all I could see of the railway museum. I'd been looking forward to seeing the museum for several months now, so all in all, it was a big disappointment. (Sri Lanka, June 2011).
Looking out towards the trains from the indoor display gallery of the erstwhile Colombo Terminus station. The large forecourt seen here would have been pretty impressive in its heydays. This station is now closed. Colombo Fort station is now used instead. (Sri Lanka, June 2011).

This is what alighting passengers at Colombo Terminus station would have seen of the main station building. Now almost in obscurity, the station building houses a tiny indoor display gallery of the Colombo Railway Museum. The museum was officially closed, and my driver guide had to talk the bored and sleepy attendant to open up the place for me, for a small fee of course.(Sri Lanka, June 2011).
I go out to work on a Monday morning
Tuesday I go off to honeymoon
I'll be back again before it's time for Sunny-down,
I'll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon
Bicycling on every Wednesday evening
Thursday I go waltzing to the Zoo
I come from London town, I'm just an ordinary guy,
Fridays I go painting in the Louvre
I'm bound to be proposing on a Saturday night (There he goes again)
I'll be lazing on a Sunday
lazing on a Sunday
lazing on a Sunday Afternoon.

Salgo a trabajar un lunes por la mañana
Martes me voy de luna de miel
Estaré de vuelta antes de la puesta del sol
Estaré holgazaneando el domingo por la tarde
Andando en bici cada miércoles por la tarde
Jueves voy bailando al zoo
Vengo de Londres, sólo soy una persona normal
Los viernes voy a pintar al Louvre
Estoy comprometido con las proposiciones del sábado noche
(Allá va otra vez)
Estaré holgazaneando el domingo, holgazaneando el domingo
Holgazaneando el domingo por la tarde.
QUEEN
