The unique Marine Archaeological Museum in Sri Lanka newly established by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and National Heritage in Galle is scheduled to be inaugurated under the patronage of President Mahinda Rajapaksa on 4th March 2010.
According to the Cultural Ministry the Museum built under a special grant of Rs.177 million made by the government of the Netherlands and it is 40,000square feet in extent. While marine artifacts discovered in explorations made in the ocean floor around Sri Lanka are displayed in this Museum, about 200 artifacts discovered from the remains of ships sunk in the ocean nearly 800 years ago are exhibited here.
The Marine Archaeological Museum previously established in Galle was completely destroyed by the Tsunami Disaster on 26th December 2004 and the present Museum is being established after renovating a massive old building constructed during the Dutch Era and situated within the historic rampart of Galle, Ministry added.

When the mood strikes, a kiss can catch us in a mix of tastes, textures, mysteries—and scents. We kiss nervously, flirtingly, angrily, or excitedly. And a kiss is not just all about sex: Hollywood celebs throw us air kisses, mobsters impart the kiss of death, and an astronaut kisses the soil after a safe return home.
