Faces of Ground Zero: Photographs by Joe McNally
Now On View
Faces of Ground Zero: Photographs by Joe McNally is installed in the Museum’s North Tower Excavation. In the weeks following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, New York–based photographer Joe McNally captured people who reported to Ground Zero in the immediate aftermath of the attacks to aid in rescue, recovery, and relief efforts.
A selection of 18 portraits from the full collection of 246 images that also include survivors, bereaved family members, government officials, and others, are shown approximately at life-size, communicating the devotion and heroism of responders from a large cast of government agencies, trade unions, volunteer groups, and other organizations who risked their physical safety and health to repair New York City.
