Sixteen years ago, the course of American history changed. Terrorists carried out four coordinated terror attacks killing 2,997 people, injuring over 6,000 people and leaving an indelible scar on people the world over. In the wake of the attack, the families of victims inaugurated a small museum on Liberty Street, Manhattan, called the 9/11 Tribute Center. In June of this year, the museum needing more space to redesign their exhibition after years of reflection reopened their museum at 92 Greenwich Street, now as a full and proper '9/11 Tribute Museum'.
