Smithsonian Opens 9/11 Artifacts Exhibit on 25th Anniversary

The Smithsonian Museum opened a temporary exhibit displaying nearly 40 artifacts from the 9/11 attacks, including items from New York, the Pentagon, and Flight 93, presented without glass cases to allow close public viewing. The exhibit marks the 25th anniversary and focuses on personal stories behind the tragedy. This is a commemorative cultural event, not a new development, but it holds historical and emotional significance.
