It is best to come between 9 and 11 in the morning, because at this time the gems look amazing in the soft light. The crowd is less on weekdays.
Budgettips
The entry fee is around 500-1000 rupees, which is quite reasonable. Discount is available for students, and avoid shopping at the museum shop because similar gems are available cheaper in the outside market.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Her er over 200 typer ædle og halvædle sten udstillet, hvoraf mange er direkte udvundet fra Ratnapuras miner. Museet har også fossiler, der er 300 millioner år gamle, som fortæller historien om øens geologiske fortid.
Højdepunkter: Her opbevares en enorm safir på 370 karat, som vil få dine øjne til at spærre op. Museet har en interaktiv sektion, hvor du kan røre ved rigtige mineværktøjer og se processen med at skære og polere sten live.
Insidertips
- Do not forget to carry a camera, the shine of the gems is best captured in pictures taken while standing on the second floor.
- Do not forget to tip the guide, they will tell you stories that you will not find in any book.
- The diamond and sapphire room has the most crowd, go there first and then see the rest of the galleries.
- Avoid going on the weekend, Monday or Tuesday is almost deserted.
