The government was to build a living indigenous community museum at a cost of Rs.22 million, according to Cabinet Spokesman Minister Keheliya Rambukwella.
He said that construction of the proposed Indigenous Community Museum was being done using the concept of a Living Indigenous Community Museum. The concept of a Living Museum has been successfully implemented in many countries of the world, he said.
Under this concept incidents of historical importance would be depicted in real time in the form in which they took place in the past. Under this project, while the infrastructure facilities of a selected part of the Dambana locality would be developed in a manner that would highlight the traditional lifestyle of the Indigenous Community, action would be taken to rebuild 15 houses in the traditional manner. It was also planned to promote this concept as a tourist attraction.
The Cabinet had given its approved for the proposal put forward by (Dr.) Jagath Balasuriya, Minister of National Heritage.
