The Museum is organized in three parts: the Day of 9/11, Before 9/11, and After 9/11. Together, they tell the story of the events leading up to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the downing of Flight 93. There are also a number of short film presentations, ranging from interviews with world leaders about 9/11’s impact to time-lapse footage of the renewal of the World Trade Center site.

The Historical Exhibition (Day of) tells the story of what happened on 9-11, including the events at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and the story of Flight 93.

The Memorial Exhibition (After) honors the victims of the attacks of 2001 and 1993. Portraits of the nearly 3,000 men, women and children whose lives were ended by these attacks convey the scope and scale of loss.

Foundation Hall (Before) is a room of massive scale and soaring height. Here, the "slurry wall," a surviving retaining wall of the original World Trade Center that withstood the devastation of 9/11, is presented as a testament to survival and determination. Against this backdrop will be the "Last Column," 36-feet high and covered with mementos, memorial inscriptions, and missing posters placed there by ironworkers, rescue personnel, and others.
