9/11 Memorial Museum 9/11 Memorial Museum No Data

Description


Located beneath the 9/11 memorial, and in large parts within the footprints of the twin towers, this museum tells the story of September 11th including the events of the day and its aftermath as well as the background and build up to the events. Some of the exhibits are moving and in places quite harrowing, such as small - but identifiable - fragments of plane fuselage from the twin tower attacks or the twisted wreckage of a fire truck. Whilst the images of the attacks are well known and seen watching them at the very point where the attacks took place and so many people lost their lives makes it a lot more vivid and horrific. It's a difficult museum to look round, but one that you need to visit to understand much of what has happened since. I visited just as it opened at 9am and this is a good time as the queues are very short and the museum is quiet, by the time I left at midday the museum was becoming very crowded.
