Tribute to tragedy: 9-11 memorial museum revisits fateful day

A museum memorialising the Sep 11, 2001, attacks opens this week to victims’ family members and next week to the public, displaying artefacts recalling the public and personal tragedy of that fateful day.

Visitors to the National September 11 Memorial Museum in downtown Manhattan descend to exhibitions several stories below street level to be greeted by a Hudson River retaining wall that survived the attacks and a column scrawled with numbers of the police and firefighters who did not.
