The Aceh Tsunami Museum is
a museum in Banda Aceh that was designed as a symbolic monument to the 2004
Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami disaster as well as a disaster education
center and emergency shelter in the event of another tsunami. The museum was
founded in 2009 located in Banda Aceh, Indonesia.
The Tsunami Museum in
Banda Aceh designed by architects from Bandung, West Java, Ridwan Kamil is a
design that won an international competition held in 2007 in commemoration of
the 2004 tsunami disaster. The building has the concept of rumoh Aceh and on
escape hill and as the main reference is Islamic values, local culture, and
tsunami abstraction.
This museum is a
four-story structure with an area of 2,500 m² with curved walls covered with
geometric relief. Inside, visitors enter through a narrow and dark alley
between two high water walls to recreate the atmosphere and panic during the
tsunami. The museum wall is decorated with pictures of Saman dancing people, a
symbolic meaning of the Acehnese tribe's strength, discipline, and religious
beliefs. From above, the roof forms a sea wave. The ground floor was designed
like a traditional Aceh stilt house that survived the brunt of the tsunami.
This building commemorates the victims, whose names are listed on the walls of
one of the museum's deepest spaces, and the people who survived this disaster.
In addition to its role as a memorial to the dead, the museum is also useful as
a place of refuge from such disasters in the future, including the
"refugee hill" for visitors if a tsunami occurs again.
