Renovation of National Museum staircase under purview of Archaeological Dept

Renovation of the collapsed staircase at the National Museum, Colombo has to be carried out under the purview of the Archaeological Department as suggested by the committee report, National Heritage Ministry sources said.

The Committee Report about the collapse of the staircase in the National Museum was presented to National Heritage Minister Jagath Balasuriya by the Committee Chairman and National Heritage Ministry Additional Secretary D J Samarasinghe on April 19, Ministry sources said.

According to the Committee recommendation, the collapse of the staircase was due to decay.

According to the recommendation of the committee, National Heritage Minister Jagath Baalasuriya has requested the Ministry Secretary to take immediate action to renovate the staircase.

Further, the Minister requested that steps need to be taken to open the upper floor for the public immediately.

The National Museum Building is an archaeological monument and is over 137 years old. Therefore, the staircase is in urgent need of repairs under the direction of the Archaeological Department.

The Archaeological Director General will recommend the most suitable type of wood required for the task.

Furthermore, all wooden buildings at the National Museum have to be inspected by the relevant institution, the appointed Committee has decided.
