9/11 Museum Exhibitions | Current, Past & Digital Exhibitions

This exhibition honors the 2977 people who were killed due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Similar memorials are also present in Somerset County in Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon. Additionally, the memorial also honors the 6 people who were killed in the bombing at the World Trade Center on the 26th of February, 1993.

The exhibition features a floor-to-ceiling presentation of the 2983 portrait photos, to convey the enormity of the loss. Featuring people from over 90 countries, from the age of two and a half to 85, these 4 walls are undoubtedly a true cross-section of humankind.

The inner chamber of the gallery offers a more intimate space for the remembrance of these individuals, with personal photographs and recorded videos left by friends, family, and colleagues.

This exhibition presents the story of 9/11 using images, artifacts, archival audio and video recordings, as well as first-person testimonies. The exhibition is divided into three different sections - Events of the Day which outlines the events as they unfolded; Before 9/11 *to provide context leading to these devastating attacks and; *After 9/11, addressing the aftermath and repercussions of the attacks.

Throughout the exhibition, there are several artifacts on display that serve as entry points and markers of the story. A case belonging to a Flight 93 passenger, and a bandana belonging to firefighter Welles Remy Crowther are two objects that are on display here.

This exhibition is dedicated to the hundreds of police dog K-9 units that participated in the 9/11 attack response efforts. After the attacks, K-9 units searched the wreckage for survivors and helped comfort the families of victims and responders.

Charlotte Dumas, a photographer, was determined to find out the date of the 9/11 rescue dogs. She managed to locate 15 of them and traveled across the US to take portrait photographs of these heroes.

Nearly 2 decades after the response to the 9/11 attacks, K-9 Courage was established to pay tribute to the canine responders.

An online collection of stories, this exhibition delves into the symbolism behind the World Trade Center, and the reason it was chosen as a target. The Twin Towers dominated the New York skyline for 30 years before their destruction in 2001. They went on to become iconic, and emblematic of New York City and the United States as a whole.

The fame and symbolism made the Twin Towers targets of the two attacks on September 11.

This online exhibition presents the work of 13 New York Artists, who were strongly affected by the events that transpired on that fateful day. It includes video interviews of the artists, detailed information about their art, as well as other related works.

The exhibition also includes visitor responses as they attempted to make sense of the unimaginable destruction and loss of life on that day.
