“As a photographer, the light is always changing down at the World Trade Center. It could be a grey day, a rainy day, a snowy day. If you showed up every single day at exactly the same time, the Trade Center site looks different, and for me that’s a true impetus to move forward, to keep on living, keep on surviving, keep on worrying about other New Yorkers.”

We are pleased to present the next program in our When the World Changes digital conversation series, “The Abbottabad Papers,” at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 31.

As a part of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s programming for Women’s History Month, we are offering a free, live virtual tour of the 9/11 Memorial on Tuesday, March 30, from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. EST.

Montefiore Hospital marked the one-year anniversary of the first COVID-19 patients arriving at the Bronx facility with a special ceremony thanking all frontline workers and remembering the 28 hospital workers who died trying to save lives. 

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum released its annual report, which provides a snapshot of our efforts to inspire, educate, and commemorate over the course of 2020.

This past October, after several cancellations tied to the COVID-19 pandemic, a meeting finally solidified with the multimedia artist Andra Samelson. Almost a year earlier, she had contacted the 9/11 Memorial Museum about a gift she wished to make “in honor of those who were killed when the Twin Towers were destroyed.”

Six months from today, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum will lead the nation in commemorating the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks that took the lives of 2,977 men, women, and children in New York City, Arlington, Virginia, and near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s Education Department is pleased to announce a new partnership with Share My Lesson, a free lesson-sharing website funded by the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).
