The National 9\/11 Memorial & Museum<\/h2>\n
![\"9\/11](\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/New+York\/911+museum\/9%3A11+Memorial+Museum+1.jpg?auto=compress&fm=pjpg&w=1920&h=850&fit=min&q=80&crop=faces\")
<\/span><\/p>\nThe 9\/11 Memorial Museum<\/a> is a physical reminder of what took place on September 11th, 2001 and is a site dedicated to those who lost their lives. The site is made up of two parts – The Ground Zero Memorial and the 9\/11 Museum.<\/p>\nThe Ground Zero Memorial consists of two reflection pools and a waterfall, which are located right at the footprints of where the Twin Towers once stood. Entry to the Ground Zero Memorial is free of charge.<\/p>\n
The 9\/11 Museum, on the other hand, sits at the \u2018archaeological heart of the World Trade Centre Site\u2019 and tells the story of 9\/11 through a variety of media, artifacts, archives and narratives. <\/p>\n
You can choose to visit both the memorial and the museum, or just one, depending upon your convenience and time-restraint. However, do keep in mind that this experience is the 4th most popular thing to do in New York (according to TripAdvisor), so you may want to make time for it and explore the 9\/11 Memorial Museum entirely.<\/p>\n
Ground Zero Memorial<\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/p>\nThe National September 11 Memorial is a tribute to the near 3,000 people who lost their lives during the World Trade Centre bombing in 1993 and the 9\/11 attacks. The Ground Zero Memorial features two reflection pools, nearly an acre in size each, and a quaint, peaceful waterfall (largest man-made waterfall in North America). On the bronze rims around these pools, you will find the names of every person who died during this tragedy etched into the metal, a powerful reminder of the greatest loss of life resulting from a terrorist attack in the US. This area, with the pools and waterfall, is a place to remember, honour and pay respects to the victims of this attack, the rescue personnel and their families.<\/p>\n
At the Ground Zero Memorial, you will also find what\u2019s known as \u2018The Survivor Tree\u2019, a Callery Pear tree that suffered severe damages at the time of the attacks. This tree was cared for and nursed back to health by the Department of Parks and Recreation, and was reintroduced to the site in 2010. This tree, with renewed branches, limbs and vigour serves as a living embodiment of hope and survival.<\/p>\n
9\/11 Museum<\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/p>\nThe 9\/11 Museum<\/a> in short, seeks to explore, study and understand the implications of the events of 9\/11 and consider its continuing significance. The museum consists of two core exhibitions – the Historical Exhibition<\/b> and the Memorial Exhibition<\/b>.<\/p>\nThe Historical Exhibition is located within the original footprint of the North Tower and tells the events of this tragedy in 3 parts – Events on the Day, Before 9\/11 and After 9\/11. These stories are told and conveyed using original artifacts, images, audio\/video recordings and first-person testimonials. The Memorial Exhibition is located in the original footprint of the South Tower, and it features portrait photographs of the 2,983 victims. Visitors can read more about these people, through an interactive tablet, and also hear about the victims\u2019 lives, as told by their family members.<\/p>\n
Apart from the permanent exhibitions, the 9\/11 Museum also hosts a number of temporary exhibitions and houses a permanent collection which includes over 11,000 artifacts, textiles, artwork, books and manuscripts relating to the tragedy.<\/p>\n
The 9\/11 Museum is quite vast, with a number of collections and exhibitions, making it easy to get a little confused when you first enter. To avoid this confusion it is recommended to take a guided tour of the museum. With a guide, you will be able to make sense of everything you see and enjoy the museum to its fullest.<\/p>\n
