We are saddened by the loss of one of New York City’s singular talents, the great Pete Hamill, who captured through his writing the juncture of grief, compassion, empathy, patriotism, and community that so distinguished the days and weeks after the 9/11 attacks. 

A former intern, and native New Yorker, reflects on her experience working at the 9/11 Memorial.

In preparation for Tropical Storm Isaias, the 9/11 Memorial plaza will be closed on Tuesday, August 4, when the storm is expected to hit the tristate area.

The New York Times praised the 9/11 Memorial Museum's new virtual Memorial tours for families as "sensitive and Illuminating" in a recent round-up of activities to do during quarantine.  

NYC & Company, the City of New York’s official destination-marketing organization, is launching an “NYC Virtual Field Trips” online resource, which will spotlight online experiences of New York’s many cultural institutions—including the 9/11 Memorial & Museum—to engage those currently unable to visit the city.

In 2016, this arresting maquette was donated to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum by the sculptor, thereby preserving a bronzed fraction of the storied sycamore near its original habitat outside St. Paul’s Chapel. Today, Trinity Root endures, virtually, as an exemplar of Response Art shared in Inside the Collection.

In this series, 9/11 Memorial & Museum staff photographer Jin S. Lee shares his view of select photographs taken on the site.

Due to a tropical storm warning affecting the tristate area, the 9/11 Memorial plaza will be closed on Friday, July 10.

Every exhibition at the Museum is researched, written, designed, and produced by a dedicated team. A lot of detail goes into making an exhibition, and this post shows some of the process of bringing K-9 Courage to life.

While state and federal guidelines prohibit group tours, we are offering Virtual 9/11 Memorial Tours every morning beginning Thursday, July 9, 2020.
