O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Muzej, nameščen znotraj starodavne kraljeve palače, zbira več kot 800 eksponatov iz svetega mesta Polonnaruwa. Njegove dvorane hranijo kipe Bude iz apnenca ter eno najbolj popolnih zbirk srednjeveških singalskih kovancev na Šrilanki.
Poudarki: Le redki vedo, da se tukaj nahaja eden najbolj impresivnih bronastih kipov plešočega boga Šive, najden nedotaknjen med ruševinami hindujskega templja. Podrobnosti, izklesane v gibih rok, in miren izraz na obrazu so še vedno videti živi, kot da bi se kozmični ples ustavil le za trenutek.
Notranji nasveti
- Ask the caretaker to turn on the interior lights in the darkest halls: the details of the stone carvings become spectacular.
- Do not miss the small courtyard at the back of the museum, where tombstones and stelae are displayed outdoors, little visited by tourists.
- Bring a notebook to transcribe the inscriptions in ancient Sinhalese: some tell incredible stories of kings and battles.
- At the end of the visit, go up to the palace terrace: the view over the ruins of the royal city is breathtaking and almost no one goes up there.
