Bank of Ceylon has opened a museum at the bank’s head office in Colombo. The museum deals with the history of the bank, especially the role it had played in catering to the needs of the indigenous Ceylonese population, and the growth of the bank over the years. Bank of Ceylon was set up in 1939. The museum is situated on the 28th floor of the head office. The highlight of the museum is a circular viewing gallery which goes around the building from which a visitor can get a good view of the city of Colombo by walking around the gallery. The museum has three sections – the coins and currency section called the ‘Money Gallery’, the Bank of Ceylon history section called ‘BOC Gallery’, and the modern banking section called the ‘Banking Center’.
