An advantage when you have family in Banda Aceh who will help you in many things like youdging, but you don't need to worry because there will be many nearby lodgings from the Aceh tsunami museum area, such as SG Homestay which only takes 3 minutes to arrive at the Aceh tsunami museum using a vehicle.

At that time I rented a room with facilities of 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 washing place, kitchen, television, AC, and there was also a living room with rental per day Rp. 350,000/100 steem. You can stay with your family and visit the Aceh Tsunami Museum together.

You can get some Acehnese specialties and also various types of souvenirs that are here at cheaper and affordable prices than outside the Museum.

^{Also called in-ship rescue bridge}

The Aceh Tsunami Museum is very unique where the beginning of its construction was designed by an architect lecturer from ITB and the shape of the building is also very unique, when viewed from above it is like a tsunami wave and if from below it is like a ship that has a long bridge in the middle of the building.

The Aceh Tsunami Museum was designed with the theme Rumoh Aceh as Escape Hill and the architectural style of the walls was also adopted from the saman dance which became a symbol of the discipline, strength, and belief of Muslims in Aceh.

The Aceh Museum building is also equipped with several rooms that use minimal lighting and the sound effect of roaring water which intends to remind us of this very sad event.

In addition, there are several rooms and walls that contain photos after the tsunami disaster, complete with descriptions of the place and time written on each photo.

In addition there is one side where there is shown an example of a small but very beautiful Acehnese house and I like the shape of this house.

And the last one is one on the wall there is a frame that contains an advice for everyone, an advice that reminds us of a life journey and learns from what has happened.

This is not just a museum but a historical trail where the beginning of a revolution was built and reorganized, a reminder that we should always be grateful, and an order that will be remembered throughout history.

I consider that all tourist attractions have their own charm and value, and I am very grateful to be able to visit here and remember the tsunami incident that I experienced here when I was in elementary school. I was amazed by the building but there are some places that we are not allowed to enter even I can't go up to the top floor and see further what is in the building of this tsunami museum, and I hope to have the opportunity to visit again and see all sides of this building.
