Aceh Tsunami Museum
The Aceh Tsunami Museum in Banda Aceh was built to commemorate the devastating 2004 earthquake and tsunami. Designed by Ridwan Kamil, the structure combines a traditional Acehnese stilt house layout with an emergency escape hill.
Upon entering, visitors pass through a narrow, dark, and damp corridor with running water on both sides, evoking the emotional panic of the disaster. Inside, there are memorial rooms, photographic archives, and an earthquake simulator.
The museum serves not only as a visual memorial but also as an educational hub for disaster mitigation and international disaster research. The building is engineered with reinforced concrete to act as an evacuation zone if a similar disaster occurs.
Every day, hundreds of domestic and international tourists visit the museum to witness the resilience of the Acehnese people. Its strategic location in central Banda Aceh places it close to Blang Padang Field and the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque.
