Description
Located at the World Trade Center site, the memorial commemorates those lost in the 1993 and 2001 terror attacks. Outdoors, the sound of cascading water fills the twin footprints, flanked by the names etched into bronze parapets and the nearby Survivor Tree. Indoors, the museum expands on the physical relics with extensive media archives and personal accounts, framing both the scale of the destruction and individual human stories from that day.
