The Museum's resident oral historian and curator Amy Weinstein reflects on the honor and implicit responsibility in recording these sacred stories.

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s Winter/Spring 2021 public program season will kick off on Monday, February 8, and will cover a range of topics that address the ongoing impacts and continued resonance of the 9/11 and 1993 attacks, their historical context, and their aftermath.

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum will be closed on Monday, February 1 as a major snow storm is set to blanket the tri-state area.

We talked to Anthoula Katsimatides, a 9/11 family member, about her experience narrating the audio guide, her ongoing work with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, and the importance of commemorating the lives lost.

In her role as 9/11 health advocate, Nordstrom has played a key role in policy decisions surrounding 9/11 health coverage and benefits for survivors like herself, first responders, downtown residents, and more.

There are indelible images that mark moments of rupture. They stay with us, engraved in our mind’s eye, precisely because they capture the unthinkable; because they signal a profound and forever irreversible shift in our expectations of the possible.

Last week the 9/11 Memorial Museum launched its newest digital exhibition detailing the remarkable history of the planning, construction, and operation of the World Trade Center site.

The 9/11 Memorial Museum partners with organizations in the tri-state area to coordinate free museum visits on Mondays.

During the holidays, visitors will leave tributes in the form of flowers and photos, and even more practical items, like gloves and cold-weather gear, that one might give to a loved one during the holiday season.

On Thursday, December 17, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum continued its digital public program series When the World Changes with Ambassador Richard Olson, former U.S. State Department diplomat and now a senior advisor at the United States Institute of Peace.
