The Memorial's twin reflecting pools are set within the footprints of the original Twin Towers, symbolizing loss and renewal.
The Memorial features the names of 2,983 victims from the September 11, 2001, and February 26, 1993, attacks.
A Callery pear tree, known as the Survivor Tree, was recovered from the rubble and now stands as a symbol of resilience.
The design was selected from over 5,200 submissions from 63 countries, highlighting its global significance.
The Last Column, a 36-foot steel beam, was the final piece removed from Ground Zero and is now a centerpiece in the Museum.
The Memorial Glade honors the rescue and recovery workers who suffered from exposure to toxins at Ground Zero.
The Museum includes multimedia displays, archives, narratives, and a collection of artifacts that provide a comprehensive history of the events.
The Memorial's design incorporates sustainable features, including a rainwater harvesting system that supplies the pools.
Every September 11th, two beams of light are projected into the sky, symbolizing the Twin Towers and visible from up to 60 miles away.
The Memorial is situated at the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan, where the Twin Towers once stood.
