Aceh Tsunami Museum was designed by architect from Bandung, West Java, Ridwan Kamil. This museum is a four-storey structure with an area of 2500 m² whose curved walls are covered by geometric reliefs. In it, visitors enter through a narrow and dark passageway between two high water walls - to recreate the atmosphere and panic of the tsunami. The museum walls are adorned with pictures of Saman dancing people, a symbolic meaning to Aceh's religious power, discipline, and religious beliefs. From the top, the roof formed a wave of the sea. The floor is basically designed like a traditional Aceh stage house that survived the tsunami.
