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. The memorial design, by husband and wife team Hans and Torrey Butzer, is anchored by two large gates with a long, black granite reflecting pool running east to west in the center. The Gates of Time, one marked 9:01, represents the last moments of peace before the bombing of the Murrah Building, while the opposite western gate marked 9:03 represents the first moments of recovery.
