What's in the Aceh Tsunami Museum?

It is incomplete when visiting Aceh without visiting the Tsunami Museum, let alone the visit of Aceh Visit 2013. This museum was built by BRR NAD-NIAS after the design competition won by M. Ridwan Kamil, ITB lecturer and entitled to fund 100 million rupiah. This museum alone spent 140 billion for its construction. When viewed from above, this museum reflects the tsunami waves, but if seen from the side (bottom) it looks like a rescue boat with a large deck as an escape building.

Once inside, you feel like entering a dark alley tsunami wave with a height of 40 meters with a falling water effect. Be careful with your head, prepare a wide hat so that your hair and clothes will not get wet. For those who fear the dark and still phobia with the tsunami, it is not advisable to enter from this path. After passing this place, dozens of standing screens present post-tsunami photographs of destruction and destruction as well as death, which are full of images of victims and images of help to them.


After from this room, you will enter the "Fate Determination Room" or "Fighting Room", often called The Light of God. This room is shaped like a semi-dark chimney with God's writing on the top. This reflects the struggle of tsunami victims. Where, for those who surrender when captured tsunami waves, then their names are embedded in the chimney wall as a victim. Conversely, for those who feel there is hope, continue to struggle while expecting compassion from the Most Helpful. Once they are convinced of God's help, they seem to hear a divine call and keep fighting to survive the wave.
