Museum Artifacts Tell a Story
The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum is the official repository for all artifacts and documents related to the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and its aftermath. Using these artifacts, documents, photos and personal stories, the Museum tells the remarkable story of what happened, how people responded, and what we learned. The rescue and recovery phase following the bombing is one of six areas the Museum collects.
Among the important artifacts discovered during this phase was a large bronze seal found in the debris located on the north side of the Murrah Building. Although warped by the blast and pitted by shrapnel, this 300 pound seal remained intact and is displayed in the Museum. It is a visual reminder of the impact of violence.
Visit the Memorial Museum and experience the story of one city, one nation, one resolve.
