Paintings at Ruhunu Cultural Centre.
In the year 1997, came the red letter day for Matara as pride of place was given to this antiquated Dutch Nupe Market, when it became a part of the Ruhuna Cultural Complex Centre. Just a stone's throw away from this old Dutch market edifice were also built a network of three new buildings to house the entire Ruhuna Cultural Centre having the very architectural replica of the old Dutch Nupe market. All these constructions were the making of the Central Cultural Fund (CCF). This Ruhuna Cultural Centre is a nascent of nine such Cultural Centres to be opened in the nine Provincial Councils in due course. These new buildings were magnanimously gifted by two reputed Telecommunication Companies-Suntel and Ericsson courtesy of the Swedish Embassy in Colombo. |
