On Dec. 26, 2004 , a powerful 9.1-magnitude earthquake off the coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra triggered a tsunami that killed around 230,000 people.
Aceh province , located closest to the earthquake’s epicenter, bore the brunt of the disaster with more than half of the total death toll reported.
The worst-hit areas were in Aceh Besar and Banda Aceh , Indonesia .
Muslina , 43 , a civil servant, took her youngest son to the Aceh Tsunami Museum to watch one of the shows. She lost relatives and loved ones 20 years ago and she wants to make sure she always remembers them. “Earlier my son asked me if there might be another tsunami when he grows up," she said. “I told him I do not know. Only God knows, but if there is a strong earthquake and the seawater recedes, we run, run, run to find higher ground.”.
