US and SL highlight maritime connections through Godawaya shipwreck exhibition at BMICH

The U.S. Embassy in Sri Lanka and the Central Cultural Fund’s Maritime Archaeology Unit will host an exhibition and symposium from September 3—5 at BMICH Cinema Lounge, Colombo, highlighting the documentation and preservation of artifacts from the Godawaya Shipwreck — one of Sri Lanka’s most significant maritime heritage sites.

The exhibition is also a reminder of the Indo-Pacific’s vital role in maintaining peace and security, while safeguarding sovereign rights —a shared interest for both the United States and Sri Lanka.

The exhibition at BMICH will open to the public at 11:00 a.m. on September 3 and will then be open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on September 4 and 5.
