The Museum
The Museum will display artifacts presenting the intimate stories of loss, compassion, reckoning and recovery that are central to our collective history.
The Memorial
The names of the victims will be inscribed around two massive pools with 30-foot waterfalls filling the voids where the Twin Towers once stood.
The Site
An eight-acre landscaped Memorial Plaza filled with nearly 400 trees will create a contemplative space separate from the sights and sounds of the surrounding city.
