Visitors to the Museum will enter through a Pavilion that will house an auditorium for public programming, a multi-purpose area for contemplation and refreshment and a private suite reserved for victims' family members. Two of the original steel tridents from the Twin Towers will be enclosed within the Pavilion's grand glass atrium, standing as references to the past, while signaling hope for the future.

Designed by Snøhetta, the Pavilion design embodies a careful reaction to the horizontal character of the memorial design while also providing the area with a lively organic form that allows the visitor to imagine the site and city in a broader sense.
