Bungalow to be made museum

P. Rajaratnam

The ancient Victoria Park Curator's Bungalow is to be converted into a Museum by Nuwara Eliya Mayor Kumara Dodambage for the benefit of the large foreign and local holiday crowds who throng this Garden City of Eden.

According to the Mayor, the new Museum will comprise pictures and information from the British colonial times, Sir Samuel Baker and Governor Barns era, in addition to facts relating to historical places in Nuwara Eliya and other places in the hill country. The Victoria Park figures as one of the parks which was founded during the British times.
