Description
The Oklahoma City National Memorial, an outdoor memorial park, was officially dedicated on April 19th, 2000, with the National Memorial Museum opening the following year.
In addition to the Gates of Time, the memorial features The Field of Empty Chairs, representing all the victims of the bombing that will never sit at the family dinner table again. Hand-crafted from glass, bronze and stone, the 168 chairs are arranged in nine rows, symbolizing the nine floors of the Murrah Building. The 19 smaller chairs represent the children, with three unborn children listed on their mothers' chairs.
