Memorial Museum Prepares to
Welcome 2,000,000th Visitor
June 13, 2011
Sometime late this week, we expect to welcome our 2,000,000th visitor to the Memorial Museum. That means 2,000,000 lives changed forever by their visit to the Memorial Museum. Oklahoma City museums typically average between 100,000 and 150,000 visitors each year. An impressive 200,000 visitors from around the world visit the Memorial Museum each year—last year alone, the Museum welcomed visitors from 95 countries. The Outdoor Symbolic Memorial receives over 400,000 visitors from around the world each year!
Over the past ten years, the institution has educated millions with its story of hope and renewal. The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum is proud to announce it will reach an important milestone in June, the celebration of its two millionth visitor. This special visitor will receive a VIP Behind the Scenes Tour of the Museum from Museum staff as well as a family member, survivor and rescue worker.
The Museum has welcomed individuals from all 50 U.S. states and several dozen foreign countries. Notable guests include President Bill Clinton, President and Mrs. George W. Bush, Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and John Roberts, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, television anchors Ann Curry and Brian Williams, and team members from the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder.
