Welcome

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is the country’s principal institution concerned with exploring 9/11, documenting its impact, and examining its continuing significance. Honoring those who were killed in the 2001 and 1993 attacks is at the heart of our mission.

The Impact of Terrorism

Ensuring that students in classrooms across the U.S. learn not only the history of 9/11 but also its context remains central to our mission. Now more than ever, we encourage you to explore our age-appropriate lesson plans and programs, developed to help educators impart what transpired before, during, and after the attacks.

Two people have each placed a hand on a bronze parapet at the Memorial. They are next to about a dozen white roses that have been placed at the names of victims.
Each day we remember the victims, the families, and survivors dealing with loss, recognizing the lasting consequences of 9/11 on individual lives.

We actively engage with 9/11 family members, survivors, and rescue and recovery workers to offer services, education, and moments of connection and healing.
