The New York State Museum, located in Albany, has begun programming to commemorate the 19^th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

On Friday, Sept. 11, 2020, the museum’s senior historian and curator of the World Trade Center Collections, Aaron Noble, provided a gallery tour of World Trade Center: Rescue, Recovery, Response to commemorate the anniversary.

A video of the program is available on the museum’s web page, as well as on the museum’s YouTube page.

Additionally, since Friday, Sept. 11, 2020, a display of World Trade Center artifacts has been added to the Windows on New York (http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/exhibitions/windows-new-york) exhibition in the museum’s Madison Avenue lobby window. While the museum facility remains closed to the public, the display can be viewed outside the building, while socially distancing.
