Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum

Designed by Butzer Design Partnership, this Memorial honors the victims, survivors, rescuers, and all who were changed forever on April 19. It encompasses the now-sacred soil where the Murrah Building once stood, capturing and preserving forever the place and events that changed the world.

Memorial Museum - The storyline for the Museum was written in ten chapters. There is a chapter called "chaos", which depicts the moments immediately following the bomb. The devastation was shocking. In the large wall cases are artifacts salvaged from the buildings. In the first case the artifacts are office related: a clock, a daily reminder, a pencil sharpener, a blind, file drawers, file cabinet, and computer monitor. In another case the architectural features are: a door, a lamppost globe, a glass tile, and molded plaster. In the center of the room are irregularly shaped kiosks containing small cases. In the small cases are unclaimed possessions such as keys, watches, shoes, etc. In each of these small cases there is one article for which the owner has been identified.
