Banda Aceh, Indonesia
The Museum Negeri Aceh (Aceh State Museum)
The Museum Negeri Aceh, popular known as Banda Aceh Museum or Aceh State Museum is one of the oldest museums in Indonesia, comprising an old traditional building (1914) and a new building (1974). The old building is actually a traditional Acehnese stage house or Rumoh Aceh with a typical kitchen, a living area, and other customary Acehnese pieces. Meanwhile, the new building features many collections of archaeological and ethnographic items from Aceh, as well as the history of Islam and local freedom fighters. If you wish to know more about the Acehnese and their culture, Banda Aceh Museum is the place to be.
