In short What to expect

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum stands on the footprint of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. Two core exhibitions, September 11, 2001 and In Memoriam, tell the story of the day's events, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that came before it, and the months that followed, drawing on recovered artifacts, photographs and recorded testimony.

Foundation Hall connects the two exhibitions beneath the Museum. Outside, the Memorial plaza is free to visit, with every victim's name inscribed in bronze around the two reflecting pools and the Survivor Tree, a Callery pear recovered from the site, still growing nearby.
