The 20th Anniversary Commemoration
For two decades, we have come together as a nation on September 11 to remember the day that changed New York - and our world - forever. This Saturday's milestone anniversary commemoration was a powerful tribute to all those killed, underscoring the hope, resilience, and unity we shared in the aftermath of the attacks. In the face of a tragedy that for many still remains difficult to process even today, strength and compassion lift us up.
We are deeply grateful to the tens of thousands of you who joined us in remembrance this weekend, in person or online, in lower Manhattan, at the Pentagon, in Shanksville, PA, or from cities across the country and around the world. Whether you watched the commemoration ceremony, viewed the Tribute in Light, or posted photos of the sky we share, your support helps ensure that a new generation will #NeverForget911. Please follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for additional photos, or visit neverforget.org to learn more.

Beginning on the day the subway reopened, the painter Marie Roberts spent four months at Ground Zero, live sketching the rescue and recovery efforts. The resulting 200 drawings capture not only the breadth of the disaster, but also the incredible resilience that shone through each day as she walked the changing perimeter.
The New York Culture Club gallery at the Oculus hosts a solo exhibition of works by Todd Stone, showcasing the artist's perspective on the rebuilding of lower Manhattan over the course of two decades. Two pieces from Stone's earlier collection "Witness," which documents the attacks and their devastation, are housed in the Museum's permanent collection.
