Sept 11 Museum: Haunting Images Of Artefacts To The Murdered
THE Sept 11 Museum is open:
The Memorial Museum Mission
The National September 11 Memorial Museum at the World Trade Center will bear solemn witness to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The Museum will honor the nearly 3,000 victims of these attacks and all those who risked their lives to save others. It will further recognize the thousands who survived and all who demonstrated extraordinary compassion in the aftermath. Demonstrating the consequences of terrorism on individual lives and its impact on communities at the local, national, and international levels, the Museum will attest to the triumph of human dignity over human depravity and affirm an unwavering commitment to the fundamental value of human life.
Family members of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks wear black gags over their mouths in protest of the transfer of unidentified remains of those killed at the World Trade Center from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to the World Trade Center site, Saturday, May 10, 2014, in New York. The remains will be transferred to an underground repository in the same building as the National September 11 Memorial Museum.
