9/11 Memorial Museum

On the agenda today was a visit to the new 9/11 Memorial Museum at the site of the twin World Trade Center towers.   We booked ticket earlier this morning with the assistance of a great concierge Raphael.  Tickets are issued on a timed entrance basis and we were booked for 12:00 noon.  Uber was our friend today as we had three amazing drivers.  Five minutes after we requested it, our Black Car and driver Jamel pulled up to the hotel... just as Kevin Spacey and entourage hopped into their car.  Thirty minutes later we were at Freedom Tower and the 9/11 Memorial Museum.

Even with timed tickets, we had to wait about 40 minutes in a snake queue before entering.

Once inside, what a wonderful and moving experience that covers every aspect of that day...  Amazing photos, video and audio recordings, pieces of the twin towers, artifacts and a stirring tribute to those that lost their lives that day.  The sheer volume is simply overwhelming to see and appreciate in one visit.   We were there for two hours and only scratched the surface.  I recommend the audio guide which is narrated by Robert DeNiro.  Not to be missed is the Historical Exhibition which presents a timeline of the day and the aftermath.
