Oklahoma City National Memorial, History museum and national memorial in downtown Oklahoma City, United States
The Oklahoma City National Memorial features a reflecting pool, 168 bronze chairs arranged in nine rows, and an American elm tree at its center point.
The memorial was established in 1997 to honor the victims and survivors of the 1995 federal building bombing that claimed 168 lives in Oklahoma City.
The Field of Empty Chairs displays different sizes of bronze seats, representing adults and children who lost their lives during the April 19 attack.
The outdoor memorial remains open twenty-four hours daily throughout the year, while the museum maintains regular operating hours with educational programs.
Two bronze gates mark the time before and after the explosion, standing at 9:01 and 9:03, framing the moment that changed Oklahoma City forever.
