The 9-11 Memorial Museum sits between the two reflecting pools of the 9-11 Memorial, which are set in the original footprints of the Twin Towers. The Museum charges an admission fee to cover operating costs, while the Memorial remains free. Museum tickets include the 9-11 Memorial. Advance reservations are usually required if you are purchasing a Ticket & Tour combo. The Museum offers Free Admission Mondays 5:30pm – 7pm with a reservation.

The 9-11 Memorial Museum offers 110,000 square feet of exhibition space and is located within the archaeological heart of the World Trade Center site, next to the 9-11 Memorial. Visitors enter the museum through a pavilion between the memorial’s two pools. Within the building’s glass atrium are two huge steel tridents from the original Twin Towers.
The Museum tells the story of 9-11-01 through multimedia displays, archives, narratives and a collection of monumental and authentic artifacts. The lives of every victim of the 2001 and 1993 attacks are commemorated as visitors have the opportunity to learn about the men, women, and children we lost on that fateful day.

The Museum is organized in three parts: the Day of 9/11, Before 9/11, and After 9/11. Together, they tell the story of the events leading up to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the downing of Flight 93. There are also a number of short film presentations, ranging from interviews with world leaders about 9/11’s impact to time-lapse footage of the renewal of the World Trade Center site.
The Historical Exhibition (Day of) tells the story of what happened on 9-11, including the events at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and the story of Flight 93.
The Memorial Exhibition (After) honors the victims of the attacks of 2001 and 1993. Portraits of the nearly 3,000 men, women and children whose lives were ended by these attacks convey the scope and scale of loss.
Foundation Hall (Before) is a room of massive scale and soaring height. Here, the "slurry wall," a surviving retaining wall of the original World Trade Center that withstood the devastation of 9/11, is presented as a testament to survival and determination. Against this backdrop will be the "Last Column," 36-feet high and covered with mementos, memorial inscriptions, and missing posters placed there by ironworkers, rescue personnel, and others.

The Museum’s growing collection of diverse materials includes artifacts, photographs, audio and video tapes, personal effects and memorabilia, expressions of tribute and remembrance, recorded testimonies and digital files and websites related to the history of the World Trade Center, the events of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993, and the repercussions of these seismic attacks.
