We're proud to relaunch our Behind the Lens series, in which Jin Lee, our Director of Photography and Videography, personally selects and shares special photos he's taken at the Memorial and Museum through the years.  

In 2019, Michael Arad (right), architect and designer of the 9/11 Memorial, watches over the installment of the one of six monoliths he designed for a new section of the glade that honors and remembers first responders who lost their lives after 9/11.
