Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

This Is a Model Of The National September 11 Memorial & Museum. It is the principal memorial and museum commemorating the Attacks Of September 11 2001 & February 26 1993 The memorial is located at the World Trade Center site, on the former location of the Twin Towers destroyed during the attacks. The winner of the WTC Site Memorial Competition was Israeli-American architect Michael Arad of Handel Architects, a New York- and San Francisco-based firm. In August 2006, the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey began heavy construction on the memorial and museum. The design is consistent with the original Daniel Libeskind master plan that called for the memorial to be 30 feet below street level (originally 70 feet) in a piazza. The design was the only finalist to throw out Libeskind's requirement that buildings overhang the footprints. On September 11, 2011, a dedication ceremony was held at the memorial, commemorating the tenth anniversary of the attacks. The memorial officially opened to the public on September 12, 2011, while the museum will open one year later, on or around September 11, 2012. Three months after opening, the memorial has been seen by over 1 million visitors......Enjoy!
