9/11 Memorial & Museum highlights

Foundation Hall – at 15,000 square feet with a 60 feet-tall ceiling, the Foundation Hall is the museum's largest room. It is home to a portion of a surviving slurry wall, a retaining wall built to hold back the waters of the nearby Hudson River when the World Trade Center site was first excavated in the mid-1960s. Following the collapse of the towers on 9/11, the slurry wall remained intact—a potent symbol of strength and resilience.

Historical Exhibition – located within the footprint of the North Tower, this exhibition presents the story of 9/11 in three parts: before, during, and after. Artifacts, images, first-person testimony, and archival audio and video recordings are used.

Memorial Exhibition – this exhibition is dedicated to and commemorates the people whose lives were lost during the attacks on September 11, 2001, and February 26, 1993.

Revealed: The Hunt for Bin Laden - Based on unprecedented access to the agencies and people who conducted the hunt, this exhibition examines the intelligence and military activities that led to a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where Osama bin Laden was killed nearly 10 years after 9/11.

Pavilion – in the entrance hall you can view ‘The Tridents,’ two 80-foot tall steel columns that once formed part of the exterior of the North Tower. There is also a collection of flags, some of which made up the 180 that once hung from the original Twin Tower lobbies at the World Trade Center.
