9 11 Museum Exhibit Research

The New York State Museum and the Caen Peace Memorial seized a unique opportunity to examine the lasting impact of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Combining artifacts, personal testimonies, and powerful imagery, the exhibit that went on display at the Caen Peace Memorial in Normandy, France, on June 6, 2008, provides a compelling visitor experience. Many of the artifacts were collected by the New York State Museum during recovery and salvage operations at the World Trade Center. Others were donated by victims or their families. 

Exhibit Services the Highest Caliber

For the first time in a Western museum, this exhibition examines the broader historical context of September 11 by interpreting the actions and ideology of Al Qaeda before the attacks and the Western intervention in Afghanistan that followed.

As Mark Schaming, director of exhibitions and programs at the New York State Museum, observed, “It’s probably the most comprehensive exhibition on this subject to date.”
