The opening ceremony organized by the 9/11 Tribute Museum will unveil a new exhibit, depicting the events of 9/11, the recovery and rebuilding, global outreach of 9/11 foundations and “Seeds of Service,” a collective and social interactive exhibition that inspires and engages visitors to respond to what they have seen by committing to serve in their own local, national or global communities.
