Tsunami Museum - This tour was a powerful experience. The guide was kind and explained everything clearly. Visiting the Tsunami Museum and seeing the ship carried by the wave was unforgettable. We learned a lot about the 2004 tsunami and how the people of Aceh have stayed strong. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Banda Aceh. It’s emotional but also inspiring.

This museum is a must visit. It’s not just about tragedy,it’s about survival, unity, and hope. - Visiting the Tsunami Museum in Banda Aceh was a deeply moving and unforgettable experience. The museum is more than just a building, it’s a powerful tribute to the resilience of the Acehnese people and a memorial for the lives lost in the devastating 2004 Ocean tsunami. From the moment you enter, the atmosphere is respectful and reflective. The dark, narrow corridor with the sound of rushing water and haunting voices immediately sets the tone. it feels like stepping into the moment of disaster itself. Every exhibit is thoughtfully designed, from personal artifacts and survivor testimonies to interactive displays and documentary footage that provide a raw, human perspective on the tragedy. One of the most striking parts is the “Space of Sorrow”, a tall cylindrical room where names of the victims are engraved, accompanied by soft prayers and a single beam of light from above. It’s impossible not to be moved🥹
