History

Historical Context

The September 11, 2001 attacks that killed 2,977 people spurred a national effort to memorialize the tragedy. After a design competition won by architect Michael Arad and landscape architect Peter Walker, the National September 11 Memorial opened on September 12, 2011, with the underground museum opening in May 2014. These sites have become permanent reminders of the attacks.
