The
National September 11 Memorial & Museum (known separately as the
9/11 Memorial and
9/11 Memorial Museum) are the principal memorial and museum, respectively. They commemorate the
September 11, 2001, attacks, which killed 2,977 victims, and the
World Trade Center bombing of 1993, which killed six. The memorial is located at the
World Trade Center site, the former location of the
Twin Towers, which were destroyed during the September 11 attacks. It is operated by a non-profit corporation whose mission is to raise funds for, program, own, and operate the memorial and museum at the World Trade Center site.
