by P. Rajaratnam in Nuwara Eliya

The ancient Victoria Park Curator's Bungalow will be converted into a museum, by Nuwara Eliya Mayor Kumara Dodambage for the benefit of foreign and local holiday crowds who throng the Garden city of Eden.

According to the Mayor, the new museum will comprise pictures and information from British times in addition to information relating to the historical places in Nuwara Eliya and other places in the hill country.

The Victoria Park was founded during the British times where Queen Elizabeth II, had visited the park during her visit to then Ceylon in the early 1950's.
