About the 9/11 Memorial & Museum
The 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City is a poignant tribute to the victims of the September 11, 2001 and 1993 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center at the site of the former complex.
The memorial was designed by architect Michael Arad and landscape architect Peter Walker. It has two large reflecting pools which are nearly an acre in size and set within the footprints of the original Twin Towers. The pools are surrounded by bronze panels which show the names of some of the victims of the 9/11 attacks and the 1993 bombing. The pools are the largest man-made waterfalls in North America and were designed to create a contemplative and reflective space.
The Survivor Tree
A symbol of resilience, the "Survivor Tree" is a Callery pear tree that was recovered from the rubble of the World Trade Center site. It was nursed back to health and replanted at the memorial in 2010.
The 9/11 Memorial Museum
The 9/11 Memorial Museum is adjacent to the memorial and opened to the public in May 2014. The museum has artefacts, multimedia displays, and exhibits that document the events of September 11, and its aftermath. It includes personal stories of victims, survivors, first responders, and recovery workers.
The museum has a large collection of artefacts that were recovered from the site, ranging from pieces of wreckage from the Twin Towers to personal items belonging to victims and survivors. It includes the remains of a fire truck that was caught as the towers fell and an antenna from the roof of the North Tower.
Exhibits also cover the history of the World Trade Center including before 9/11, the day of 9/11 and after as well as information uncovered on the planning and execution of the attacks, and the global response.
The 9/11 Memorial & Museum also serves as an educational resource. It offers programs and resources for students, educators, and guests to learn about the events of 9/11 and their impact.
