Archaeological Museum

Anuradhapura's Archaeological Museum also houses a ticket office for the ancient city. It's worth visiting for the museum's gorgeous old building, let alone the exhibits inside. It has a restored relic chamber, as found during the excavation of the Kantaka Chetiya Dagoba at nearby Mihintale, and a large-scale model of Thuparama Dagoba's vatadage as it might have been if a wooden roof (for which there is no physical or epigraphic evidence) had existed.
