The 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s winter 2018 public programming schedule will feature correspondents and producers from “VICE News” on HBO; Mary Jo White, who prosecuted the plotters of the February 26, 1993, attack on the World Trade Center; and special guests from “The Looming Tower,” a dramatic limited series debuting on Hulu in February.

Public programs at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum are designed to deepen our understanding of 9/11’s continued impact on current events, foreign policy, history, art and culture through film screenings, moderated conversations and performances.

The programming season kicks off on Friday, Feb. 9, with the second edition of ASL SLAM at the Museum. This program will explore the themes and stories of the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing and September 11, 2001, attacks through poetry, literature, songs and performance conducted in American Sign Language, without voice interpretation.

View our full schedule and register for individual programs here. Public programs at the Museum are free to the public, but registration is required.

The 2017–18 public program season at the 9/11 Memorial Museum has been made possible in part by the David Berg Foundation.

Behind The Lens: Snow Storm at the 9/11 Memorial

An officer trudges through the snow during the height of a winter storm at Memorial plaza. The bronze parapets and walkways at the Memorial are covered in snow.

As a professional photographer, one of the things I enjoy most about photographing the Memorial often is being able to capture it in its many forms throughout different seasons and times of day. This photograph shows a rare moment when the Memorial and Museum were open but with fewer people than are usually there.
