Weekend Experiences - In the Afternoon Visit to the Historical Museum

Hello Weekend Experiences friends, may God always protect and bless us all. This is my first entry in this amazing community.

Salutations to the all team and distinguished community members. on the weekends or on days off when nighttime is just around the corner. I went to one of the historical sites that is close to where I reside. The Samudera Pasai kingdom, which is well-known throughout Southeast Asia, has its civilization's hub in my town.

I'd like to share a blog entry about going to a museum in my hometown in this article. I can readily ride my motorcycle there because it's not far from my village. In Beuringen Village, Samudera District, North Aceh District, on Jalan Malikussaleh, is where this exhibit is situated.

Symbolizing the Malikussaleh kingdom, the museum, which was opened in 2019, is a historical tourism destination. A brand-new historical tourism destination for Acehnese, particularly for those who live in North Aceh and Lhokseumawe, the museum is situated in the center of the city on the north coast of Aceh.

Perhaps the residents of Lhokseumawe and the neighboring areas in North Aceh already know about the Samudera Pasai museum's existence. Perhaps a large number of the locals have been there and frequent it. The tomb of Sultan Malikussaleh, who ruled the Samudera Pasai kingdom, is not far away from this museum or was constructed next to it.

We Acehnese may already be familiar with some of the early events that led to the creation of the Samudera Pasai kingdom. Additionally, the history of the early arrival of Islam in the Aceh area can be found in this kingdom.

Here we can learn about the past of the Malikussaleh kingdom in Samudera Pasai and see firsthand the artifacts that are remnants of the Samudera Pasai kingdom. Unfortunately, the museum was closed in the afternoon, so I was unable to visit.

I'll attempt to visit this museum again soon and show you a variety of historical artifact collections and other artifacts. The Samudera Pasai museum structure typically draws visitors daily who want to see it for themselves.

Unfortunately, this museum is no longer accessible to view the inside of the building because I visited in the afternoon. Most of the time, particularly on particular days like holidays, there will be a lot of visitors.

It is advisable to arrive early if you want to see historical artifacts up close on specific days. Information indicates that the museum is accessible three days a week, from Monday through Thursday until 16.00 GMT +7.

Keep in mind that this structure has a mosque-like architectural style and a magnificent Middle Eastern theme to its façade due to the presence of a stunning dome that draws tourists. We can learn about the past of the Pasai oceanic kingdom by visiting this museum.

We believe that by opening this museum, people will be better able to understand Islamic history and who we were in the past. This museum can also serve as a great instructional resource for kids and adults.

Selfies are a common way for visitors to remember the occasion, and I did the same by getting a picture of this structure to share with you. In addition, future brides frequently use this spot for pre-wedding portraits.

This museum also keeps a number of historical artifacts as teaching tools for guests. All historical artifacts associated with the Samudera Pasai Kingdom were added to the Samudera Pasai Museum after it was officially opened by the local government and management for exhibition and to serve as educational material for museum visitors.

There are many different items on display in this museum, including dirhams, coins, swords, rings, war tools, conventional weapons, cooking utensils, books about the Malikussaleh royal saga, and even a few pieces of the former Malikussaleh kingdom's buildings, like stones, bricks, and ceramics. while some are copies. Books that we can peruse provide us with knowledge in a variety of ways.

There are many teachings from the past that we can all benefit from understanding today. Other historical artifacts from Samudera Pasai Islamic empire, in addition to these ones, are neatly kept there as well.

I'm glad I can show you around this facility and share with you. I cordially welcome you to explore this museum and discover its rich past.

That is the interesting weekend experience I want to share with everyone in this group.

Thanks for reading and visited my post ♥️
