Documenting Destruction: The Story of Hangar 17
Wednesday, October 29
6 - 7 p.m. ET

In the aftermath of 9/11, approximately 1.8 million tons of building materials filled Ground Zero. Amid the heart-wrenching search for victims, a parallel effort began: the meticulous identification and preservation of the personal items of those killed and the remnants of the World Trade Center. In conversation with Museum Director Clifford Chanin, former Port Authority project manager Amory Houghton III, architect Mark Wagner, and founder and principal of Art Preservation Services Steven Weintraub will reflect on how Hangar 17 at JFK International Airport became the central repository for these powerful remnants. 

Stories of Service: Honoring Veterans in Their Own Words
Thursday, November 6
6 - 8 p.m. ET

Join us for a unique evening of storytelling in collaboration with The Moth, featuring the personal stories of veterans whose experiences reflect the many dimensions of military service. Crafted during a Moth storytelling workshop held earlier this fall in partnership with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, these stories will offer authentic accounts of sacrifice, heroism, and compassion from those who served, all shared live and without notes on stage in the Museum Auditorium.

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s programs are made possible, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
