Martin Wickramasinghe Folk Museum is located in Koggala, Southern Province, Sri Lanka.
Named after the writer Martin Wickramasinghe, who had been considered as the father of modern Sinhala literature.
Wickramasinghe was born in Koggala at his ancestral home and spent his childhood there, before settling in Colombo in his adult life working as a journalist.
[1] Following his death in 1976, the Martin Wickramasinghe Trust established that year to curate his personal papers, effects and books.
It is a grass covered mound to the right of the house, surmounted by a rock from the Koggala reef, where he had spent many hours of his childhood.
