The 9/11 Memorial & Museum sits at the former World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan, remembering the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. The memorial features two large reflecting pools built into the footprints of the original Twin Towers, surrounded by the names of those who died. Beneath the site, the museum preserves artifacts and personal stories from the attacks and their aftermath, creating a powerful place for visitors to learn about the tragedy, honor the victims, and reflect on how the event changed New York City and the world. #911 #newyorkcity #twintowers #memorial #nyc
