The Acehnese are acquainted with the arts of decoration, handicraft, architecture, and weaving although their developments are virtually slow. ”Rumoh Aceh” (Aceh House), whose basic form is a square supported with four or more pillars, is essentially the end result of a final stage after centuries of undergoing changes.
The arts carving and writing are centered around calligraphy. No human nor animal forms in Acehnese painting and carving, since it is forbidden in Islam to draw, carve and sculpt human being and animal.
Traditional paintings and drama (theatre) did not exist.
