Aceh Tsunami Museum, History museum in Baiturrahman, Indonesia
The museum features a four-story structure with geometric reliefs, including a narrow corridor between water walls that simulates tsunami conditions.
Following the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, architect Ridwan Kamil designed this memorial building, which opened its doors in December 2009.
The interior walls display traditional Saman dance imagery, representing the determination and religious principles of Acehnese communities.
The facility maintains regular operating hours from Monday through Saturday, with morning sessions from 09:00 to 12:00 and afternoon periods from 14:00 to 16:30.
The structure functions as both an educational center and emergency shelter, featuring an escape hill for protection during potential future tsunamis.
