Short Overview of the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum

Those who find themselves visiting or residing in New York City often decide to pay their respects to the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks by going to the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum. Not only does this location provide a detailed and accurate portrait of the tragic events, but it also provides a means for memorializing and paying tribute to those who fell victim to the attacks.

Visiting the Site

The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum is located at the World Trade Center in New York City and gives an informational overview of the September 11 attacks through its use of news reports and media, personal narratives and eyewitness accounts, and artifacts and remnants from the events.

The Museum remains open to the public to visit and learn about the 2001 attacks and their impact on the world.

Educational Resources

Providing several educational resources for visitors, the Museum was founded in large part to provide accurate and informative facts about the events to the public. Among the resources provided by the institution are free public programs, an educational webinar, and learning activities directed toward children.

Connecting with Victims and Survivors

Another major function of the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum is to connect and engage directly with survivors of the attacks, victims’ families, and first responders to the scene. Once in contact, the institution offers resources, support, and services to those directly impacted by tragedy.

Supporting the Institution

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is able to continue its work largely as a result of donations of the public and private individuals, so those who want to see the institution continue its work are encouraged to make a donation to the museum.
