According to Newsweek, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum is observing the 13th anniversary of the attacks by unveiling new exhibits. On Sept. 7 the museum opened its display documenting the search and capture of Osama bin Laden.

The exhibit features artifacts and photographs from the 2011 mission, including a shirt worn by a member of the U.S. Navy Seal Team 6, the servicemembers active in completing the assignment. The New York Times noted that the museum will also release a new video, featuring narration by Whoopi Goldberg. The video sheds light on the story of the 9/11 "survivor tree," a pear tree badly damaged during the attacks that was excavated from the rubble and later replanted in the Bronx. Today, the tree has blossomed back to full health with the help of the New York City Parks Department. 

Newsweek noted that the 9/11 Memorial has hosted upward of 15 million visitors since it opened its doors in 2011, on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. The museum, which opened in May 2013, has been visited over 900,000 times.
