Highway museum complex is the Sri Lanka's first highway museum and is located in Kiribathkumbura, Kandy. Established in 1986. The museum is maintained by the Road Development Authority. Many tourist visit here daily.

For a foreigner coming from a modern city with state of the art traveling facilities, this site is an ideal place to experience the difficult journey of transportation. How primitive the technology was at that time. How difficult it was for the people to build roads for people.
