About 9/11 Memorial & Museum
The memorial's two one-acre pools carry the largest manmade waterfalls in North America, ringed by bronze parapets inscribed with the names of the 2,983 people killed in the 2001 and 1993 attacks. The subterranean museum preserves surviving structural elements including the slurry wall and the Last Column.
