But what seemed strange to many is that the throne and the crown disappeared from the eyes of visitors to the Colombo Museum in 1956. On this topic I have heard many hypotheses, but the most frequent is that the objects had been stolen, I do not know why, by the British.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">There was a famous theft at the Colombo Museum in 1961, but among other things the Crown of King Rajasinghe II, was stolen, and unfortunately destroyed by thieves in order to be able to more easily turn the gold and precious stones of the crown into money.
