September 11, 2001 – hearing that date could lead to remembering such a very devastating incident in America – the 9-11 terrorist attack. The whole world was threatened when New York’ s World Trade Center was ruined and almost 3,000 innocent lives were taken. And thus, people of the world, most especially the American citizens could never forget what happened on that day.
With what happened, New York decided to put up a memorial and museum reminiscing what happened to the World Trade Center when it was attacked, remembering those innocent
who died by their families, friends and even acquaintances.
The National September 11 Memorial Museum exhibits story of 9 / 11 through multimedia displays, archives, narratives and a collection of monumental and authentic artifacts. And two enormous fountains, designed by architects Michael Arad with landscape architect Peter Walker, mark the footprints of the fallen towers with plunging waterfalls. These are surrounded by bronze parapets, engraved with the names of those lost.
The museum and memorial are located at 20 Vesey St.( between Church Street and Broadway) New York, NY 10007.
