Aceh Tsunami Museum

Reviewed By aug_0210 - Hong Kong, China

The Aceh Tsunami Museum is the place for people to remember those who perished in the Tsunami back in 2004. Even if you only vaguely remember how the Tsunami ravaged the people back then, in here you could refresh your memory and witness one of the most horrific experience in modern era again. The free admission makes it the place you must go when you are in Banda Aceh, particularly if you want to know how Banda Aceh has changed since then and pay your tributes to the deceased.

Love how they convert this ship into a very informative tourist attraction. Personally feel that they should have the same information in English. When you saw the ship... It is beyond words. Magnificent view from the top.
