Memory, Authenticity, Scale & Emotion

Descending 70’ to the original footprint of the WTC towers, the 110,000 sf National September 11 Memorial Museum gives access to the monumental underground site where remnants of the original towers frame the story of the attacks, confronting the physical void left after the recovery, and eliciting collective and personal memories of the event.
