Sri-LankaDescription and is it worth a visit
Colombo Street Art Gallery is an open street art space where local artists exhibit their works for sale. One could even say that this is a kind of local "Arbat", but the scale here is far from such, and this place is not very well located: there are no cafes and places to relax nearby. Although the location of the art gallery was not chosen by chance, it is located on the street between Viharamadevi Park and The National Museum, and nearby is the National Art Gallery.
As for the content of the street gallery itself, here on the sidewalk along the road for several tens of meters, artists simply put up their paintings for sale, and nothing more. You can stop by here if you want to buy something, or just when you visit a museum or a park.
By the way, don't worry about the fact that if you buy a painting here, it won't fit in your luggage and hand luggage. I'll take the canvas off the stretcher without any problems and roll it up into a tube, so you can get it through without any problems.

🚶 How to get there
Located in Colombo 7 or Cinnamon Gardens near the landmark Viharamadevi Park on Green Path Street (gallery on the Colombo map). This is the center of the city, but a little away from the conventional tourist area of Colombo Fort. You can get here by tuk-tuk or taxi from 400 rupees (1.2 USD, see Sri Lankan currency and exchange rate). We have told you all about Colombo transport and how to use it here.
Getting to know the sights of Colombo is much more interesting and informative with the help of excursions that you can buy on one of the sites with reviews:
