The Japanese American National Museum is honored to be the only California venue to present the Smithsonian Institution’s traveling exhibition, September 11: Bearing Witness to History.
As a Smithsonian affiliate, the National Museum’s goal of “sharing the American experience” and emphasis on the first-person perspective meshes with this landmark exhibition. It evokes the memories and experiences of September 11 through images, 45 carefully selected objects, and poignant stories from the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, PA. The interactive, commemorative exhibition encourages visitors to both reflect and contemplate the significance of experiencing a historic event as it unfolds.
September 11: Bearing Witness to History is organized by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, Behring Center, and is circulated by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Services (SITES). The national tour of this exhibition was made possible by the support of the Congress of the United States.
