What is the 9/11 Museum? Thanks for asking!

It’s been twenty years since the 9/11 attacks which shocked the entire world, killing 2977 people. As part of the commemorations, President Biden is due to visit the three plane crash sites in New York City, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon. 

Part of the memorial at Ground Zero in New York includes the 9/11 Museum, which was inaugurated in May 2014 by then President Barack Obama. Its construction cost over $700M, and its aim is to ensure we and future generations never forget that fateful morning, all the while sending a message of hope, resilience and unity. 

Of course, it’s important to remember such historical tragedies and learn from them, but the museum has not been without its critics since day one.

What’s it like inside the museum? It sounds very moving but what is the controversy about? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
