The National September 11 Memorial & Museum, located at the World Trade Center site in New York City, features several significant elements:
Twin Reflecting Pools: These pools are the largest man-made waterfalls in North America and sit in the footprints of the original Twin Towers. They are surrounded by bronze parapets inscribed with the names of the victims of the 9/11 attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Surrounding Plaza: More than 400 swamp white oak trees are planted around the pools, creating a peaceful and reflective space.
9/11 Museum: The museum's architecture was designed by Davis Brody Bond and includes artifacts, personal stories, and tributes to those who died in the attacks. The museum serves as a significant educational resource, documenting the impact of the events.
Opening: The Memorial was opened on September 11, 2011, on the tenth anniversary of the attacks.
