At the weekend this week or more precisely this Saturday I want to go to the Aceh Museum, this is a museum that the people of Aceh are very proud of because it contains the history of Aceh and very complete fine art exhibitions.

When I first entered the museum in the main room, I was immediately greeted by giant writing on the wall telling about the history of Aceh starting from the Iskandar Muda Sultanate until today.

This is a very complete historical map and it made my heart so touched when I read one by one the historical writings on this large wall, the pictures shown were also so good that I felt like I had gone back in time.

Not only historical pictures, photos and biodata of Acehnese Heroes in the past when they fought against the invaders are also the longest beautiful in this room, every time I see photos of the Heroes who fought for Aceh's honor one by one, it gives me goosebumps because of their confidence and prowess when they fought in the past. really very extraordinary.

In the corner of the room there are also weapons used by the heroes to fight the invaders. The weapons displayed here include swords, Rencong Mecungggek, spears and even steel shields.

On the wall in this room there is also a map of Aceh with colorful lights indicating each different region and tribe.

Don't forget, the original Acehnese Prang Sabi saga is also available in this room, the Prang Sabi saga itself is a typical Acehnese song that was sung during war, to this day when the people of Aceh hear this song the enthusiasm to fight against the invaders immediately emerges from the depths of their hearts.

And in the corner of the room there is also a book with Arabic writing from the past.
