Very powerful stuff.

Eerie. Certainly looks like a place to visit on your next trip to NYC.

This museum will help make sure that we who lived through the savage attack and its anguished aftermath of workers digging in Ground Zero, missing-people posters, bagpipes wailing across the five boroughs, the funeral church bells and the security panic will always hold the 2,753 who died in the World Trade Center close at heart.
For the next generation and those that follow, this will be a museum and memorial that will last forever like the blood-soaked field in Gettysburg.
People will come and walk past the five-story rusted steel tridents that rise from the sunken lobby and up, up, up through the gleaming atrium — like two triumphant upraised arms with big balled fists from a champion who has gotten off the canvas and fought back to victory.
Victory over the jihadist monsters who sent those insignificant hijackers on a mission to knock the towers down.

Can't wait for it to open and more pictures to get released so I can get a better look at everything.

Seems like a real bummer of a museum.

Wow. I will definitely make this a priority for the next time I go to NYC. Thanks for posting.

Wow. That's incredible. Definitely added to my bucket list.

9/11 jokes are just plane wrong.

Time to plan a trip to NYC.
Posted on 5/15/14 at 12:52 pm to Bluefin
I don't know if I could tour that.
Posted on 5/15/14 at 12:52 pm to Bluefin
I'll be in NY till Wednesday night so I'll try and go, but the line will most likely be ludicrous.

The Holocaust Museum in Washington DC is hands down the most amazing and powerful museum I've ever been to. I'm excited that they picked the same lady to do the 9/11 one.

I definitely want to go there
Posted on 5/15/14 at 1:15 pm to Bluefin
First on my list to visit when I go later this year.

I was reading a little about it earlier on CNN, and one of the curators was talking how to display the horror of the day but also keeping from overwhelming people - like the fire helmet in the slideshow makes you know just how traumatic the event was that caused that damage.
The solution was to put some areas off in alcoves so it isn't right in your face, you only see it if you want to - such as the images of the people jumping from the upper floors.
I also find it amazing that they have returned all unidentified remains to the site and they are behind a wall in the museum - out of site and not accessible to the public, but can be accessed for DNA testing and such.

Nice
The only thing wrong with it is that it will cost $24 for an adult to visit. The Helmsley Foundation donated $2.3 million so that every schoolkid in the city can come free for the next two years. But as former mayor Mike Bloomberg, chairman of the museum, said in a news conference, this should be free — paid for by the federal government, like most national landmarks and parks.
“Write your congressman,” he urged.

That's one museum I'll never visit. Too depressing. Would make me want to punch the nearest Muslim.

When's the memorial for innocent people killed in Afghanistan and Iraq being built? Far more than 9/11 victims who supported the US Govt.

Looks powerful. Really the first museum dedicated to a traumatic event that is still fresh in the minds as opposed to the Holocaust museum which is dedicated to a time that occurred before most of its visitors were born
Most of the people who visit this museum will probably remember where they were
