The Independence Memorial Museum is situated right under the monument in the center of Independence Square. It's a small museum which is dedicated to the history of the independence movement in Sri Lanka. When I visited there was no air conditioning and fans were turned off. So be prepared to start sweating within a couple of minutes. The gallery of Sri Lankan great historical figures is especially striking. It features a number of busts in a long lineup.

I love the roads here, surrounded by trees everywhere. the monument itself does give a great view inside out. Lovely place for a mini gateway or just walk around with music. A children park is present along with a jogging track. Some ponds are present to give lovely views, however, the ponds need to be maintained a bit more.
