On the 26th of December 2004 the Tsunami hit different countries. Also in Sri Lanka many lives were lost and the damage was huge. Many people on the coast lost nearly everything they had. It is impossible to tell all the Tsunami stories, as there are too many. But by telling some of them we think people will get a general idea about what happened. The museum is about the Tsunami and the first years after, as so much changed every day. Here we see local people build up their lives from scratch.
