Museum Aceh

okay guys, last post i was promise to tell you many stories of my journey. so then, today i want to tell you about a heritage area in Banda Aceh. This time i go to the museum aceh is to complete a school assignment that has been given earlier in the class, and we have made an appointment to get together at 3 o'clock here. weather conditions at the time its a little cloudy, visible from some dark clouds that slowly comes over.

Atmosphere in it looks a bit lonely. No one of tourists was in sight who come at that time, only a few of my friends who had first come from the specified time. But don't be surprised if it happens, because we made ​​a deal to converge on the Monday, where everyone is busy doing their respective jobs.

When i entering the gate, i was immediately greeted by the bell Cakra Donya in the left side. Chakra Donya is a bell from iron crown made ​​in China in 1409 AD, with height of 125 cm and width of 75 cm. The bell was a gift from the Chinese Empire which was taken by Admiral Ceng Ho to the Sultan of Aceh. Chakra means the shaft train, symbols of Wishnu, the horizon or the sun. While Donya mean the world. On the outside there is a Chakra Donya ornaments and symbols of Chinese characters and Arabic form. Chinese characters inscribed Sing Tong Fang Intention Juut Kat Yat tjo (Sultan Sing Fa has poured in 12 months of the year to 5). While the Arabic script can not be read anymore because it has been worn.

In front of Cakra Donya we will be found Rumoh Aceh there , a traditional Acehnese house said to be the first building in the museum. Rumoh Aceh was established during the reign of the Dutch East Indies, and was inaugurated by the Governor General for the Civil and Military Aceh HNA Swart on July 31, 1915. Actually, Rumoh Aceh is derived from Aceh pavilion placed in the arena Colonial Exhibition (De Koloniale Tentoonsteling) in Semarang on 13 August to 15 November 1914.

other than that, on the left side of Rumoh Aceh there have a nice building. A square building with a gable roof typical aceh four sides that continue jutting up into the face of the land. I didn't get time to wonder about this one building, but from the results of my observation ithis is a building used by the manager of the museum aceh.


still in the museum district of Aceh on the right side there are some old buildings dutch heritage, and the most interesting there are also a number of old weapons that had been used as Indonesia, especially Aceh gained independence from the Dutch.


So maybe this is all I can tell you for this time, and maybe my story is still a fraction of the many stories that exist in this aceh museum. if you are still not satisfied with the story, let's just go check to the museum Aceh. ^^
