The museum provides a deeper account than the outdoor pools alone can convey. Large remnants of the site establish its physical scale, while photographs, recordings, and personal objects keep individual experiences in focus. Moving through the underground galleries helps visitors understand both the events of that day and the ways people responded afterward, within the ground where the towers stood.
What to look for
The underground museum preserves artifacts and personal accounts of the September 11 attacks.
