The National September 11 Memorial & Museum

The history of the memorial began in 2003, when the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation announced a competition for the best monument design. No sane person doubted that a memorial was necessary, but it was also clear that a truly unique project was needed. As a result, in 2004, the project "Reflection of Absence" was announced as the winner of the competition, authored by American-Israeli architect Michael Arad from Handel Architects. Landscape designer Peter Walker helped him create the project. The project provided for the creation of two pools with the largest artificial waterfalls in the United States, which would cascade from the edges of the pools located exactly in the places where the skyscrapers stood. The area of each pool is 4 thousand square meters. meters, and both of them symbolize the human tragedy and the emptiness that remained after the terrorist attacks. As for the surrounding landscape created by Walker, it includes 4 hundred eucalyptus trees and white oaks planted on the territory of Memorial Plaza.

informative and let you re-live 911 , audio guide aid is highly recommended

In order to lose the American people's lives in the 9/∙ 11 incident, the site of the 9/∙ 11 terrorist attack in New York, the World Trade Center site, consists of three parts - two square waterfall pools, a museum built underground with a theme, and the trees surrounding them. These trees are designed by American garden designers. I recently came here to visit, it was winter, there was a little rain, the weather was very cold, the surrounding trees have basically lost the leaves, it looks cool.

Exhibitions are rich, a bit heavy

Highly recommended for those who are keen to understand the history of 911.

Check out the 911 Memorial and see the World Trade Center.
