Just before I left for Washington D.C., I visited 911 Memorial Museum in Financial District for first time. I went this place on Wednesday, June 4, 2014. I supposed to go there on June 3rd, but the ticket was sold out. This museum seemed brand new, and lots of people were commemorating as they see the museum. Even though I am not America, I truly found the power of Americans in this museum as I see people mourn and try not to forget the tragedy. Now, people in America built the country a lot stronger, and they will progress forward.
I thought the size of museum will be somehow small, but eventually it turned out that I spent almost 3 hours, and still did not see everything in the museum. (I tried to see the exhibition carefully and slowly.) I had to catch up train from Penn Station to Washington Union Station, so I had to leave around noon.
If you get a chance to visit New York City, you must visit this place.
I will not add too much comments on the picture since I am sure you can feel what the pictures say to you.
I went to the museum on June 3rd night, and the ticket was sold out! You should def visit the museum as early as possible. This is the picture of Freedom Tower at Lower Manhattan.
The Freedom Tower
It was raining on June 3rd, and rain drops on the monument seemed very sad.

It was a heartbreak to hear about news, archives, pictures, and others in the museum.
