The Lens: Capturing Life and Events at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum
The Lens: Capturing Life and Events at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum is a photography series devoted to documenting moments big and small that unfold at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.
The View: The Last Column being lowered into the 9/11 Memorial Museum on August 24, 2009, six years ago today. The 58-ton beam is so large that the 9/11 Memorial Museum was constructed around it. It was removed from Ground Zero on May 30, 2002 in a ceremony marking the end of the nine-month recovery effort and transported to an airline hangar at John F. Kennedy Airport for conservation before Museum construction began.
