Edit Design
Aceh Tsunami Museum was designed by architect from Bandung, West Java, Ridwan Kamil. This museum is a four-storey structure with an area of 2500 m² whose curved walls are covered by geometric reliefs. In it, visitors enter through a narrow and dark passageway between two high water walls - to recreate the atmosphere and panic of the tsunami. The museum walls are adorned with pictures of Saman dancing people, a symbolic meaning to Aceh's religious power, discipline, and religious beliefs. [2] From the top, the roof formed a wave of the sea. The ground floor is designed like a traditional Aceh stage house that survived the tsunami. [1]
The building commemorates the victims, whose names are inscribed on the walls of one of the museum's deepest rooms, and the survivors of this disaster. [2]
In addition to its role as a memorial to the dead, this museum is also useful as a refuge from such disasters in the future, including "refugee hills" for visitors if a tsunami occurs again. [2]
Collection Edit
The museum exhibits include an electronic simulation of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, as well as photos of victims and stories delivered by survivors. [2]
