About 9/11 Memorial & Museum
The 9/11 Memorial & Museum stands as memory of the tragedy of 9/11 that shook the world and united the world against terrorism. Built on the site of the World Trade Centre on Greenwich Street, New York it commemorates the terrorist attacks on WTC 1 and 2 and at the Pentagon on September 11 2001 in which 2977 people died and the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing in which 6 persons were killed. It is a tribute of honour to those killed in those attacks.
Designed by architects Daniel Libeskind, Michael Arad and Peter Walker, the Memorial has huge twin reflecting pools on the site of the twin towers with one of the largest man-made waterfalls in North America. The design was selected from a world-wide competition which saw a whopping 5200 entries from over 60 countries. Skirting the memorial pools are bronze panels on which are inscribed the names of every person who died in the 1993 and 2001 attacks. Victims include people who were working or visiting the places and includes all the rescue personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty.
The Memorial also houses the Survivor Tree, a pear tree which miraculously survived the 2001 attacks and was nursed back to life by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation to show the indomitable spirit of the human race.
The 9/11 Memorial Museum has a 110,000 square feet exhibition space which has various displays in various formats and mediums – multimedia, collection of monuments and artifacts, archives, photographs and documentaries which tells the narrative and after effects of the bombing. Every victim finds a memorial to his or her life and presents stories of loss, empathy and astounding heroism and humanity. There are many exhibitions that are held there that are thought provoking and humbling.
