Aceh Tsunami Museum
Located in Banda Aceh, the Aceh Tsunami Museum is designed to function as a symbolic reminder of the 2004 tsunami disaster and an educational center. The museum building is structured similarly to the traditional raised Aceh House and resembles a ship with its protruding funnel. Designed by Indonesian architect Ridwan Kamil, the Aceh Tsunami Museum is spread across an area of 2,500 square meters. The four-story museum features long curving walls that are covered in geometric reliefs. The entrance interiors are designed to recreate the noise and panic of the tsunami and feature two high walls of water.
