Located at the World Trade Center in New York City, the 9/11 Memorial Museum tells the story of 9/11 through media, narratives, and a collection of monumental and authentic artifacts, presenting visitors with personal stories of loss, recovery, and hope.

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is committed to providing ongoing resources for students, teachers, families, and the general public.

By providing a host of tailored educational programs and resources for students, teachers, families, and the general public, the Museum strives to foster a deeper understanding of 9/11 and its ongoing legacy.

Two people have each placed a hand on a bronze parapet at the Memorial. They are next to about a dozen white roses that have been placed at the names of victims.

Each day we remember the victims, the families, and survivors dealing with loss, recognizing the lasting consequences of 9/11 on individual lives.

American flags are placed in the bronze parapets as One World Trade soars skyward amid white clouds and blue skies.

The nonprofit 9/11 Memorial & Museum relies on the generous support of the public and our donors to further our mission.
