Look up from your book and there it is: a canvas you hadn’t noticed, a sculpture catching the afternoon. The Round House is, among other things, a living gallery of modern Sri Lankan art.
One of the great pleasures of the house is its extensive collection of modern Sri Lankan art, lovingly curated over the years by the owners and displayed throughout the property — from contemporary paintings to striking sculpture.
A cultural layer to your stay
The collection celebrates the talent and creativity of Sri Lankan artists, adding a vibrant cultural dimension to a house already rich in craft. Each piece offers a window into the island’s contemporary scene — and Kasun is happy to share the stories behind them on a tour.
Every piece tells a story and offers a unique insight into the island’s evolving art scene.
Take the thread to Colombo
If the art moves you, carry the thread to the capital: the Saskia Fernando Gallery, Curador Art Space and Barefoot Gallery are among the best places to see — and collect — contemporary Sri Lankan work.
