In August 2006, the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey began construction of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. The memorial is located at the New World Trade Center, where once there were the twin towers destroyed in the attacks of 11 September 2001. The winner of the competition to build the World Trade Center Memorial was the Israeli-American architect Michael Arad of Handel Architects. The National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center Foundation is a nonprofit organization with a mission to raise funds to build the memorial and the museum. The monument was inaugurated in an official ceremony on 11 September 2011, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the attacks, and was officially opened to the public the next day, while the museum was opened May 21, 2014.
