The Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster 18 years ago still leaves valuable lessons for the people of the province of Aceh and Indonesia in general, right on Sunday, December 26, 2004, the Province of Aceh was rocked by a very strong earthquake with a magnitude of 9.1–9.3 '"UNIQ --templatestyles-0000000D-QINU"' Mw.

In total, it was estimated that 227,898 people died in the disaster. At that time, various countries came to provide assistance to this national disaster, they provided emergency response assistance, provided housing assistance and improved other public facilities and infrastructure so that Aceh returned and was ready to organize a better future.

To commemorate the tsunami tragedy, tens of the world's Red Cross institutions built the Tsunami Museum which was designed by Ridwan Kamil (Current Governor of West Java).

Ridwan Kamil designed this building as a symbol of the great tragedy that claimed many lives.

When entering the narrow and dark alley, visitors will hear the roar of water and splashing water, I got goosebumps entering this hallway because it was directly affected by the 2004 tsunami disaster.
