The 9/11 Memorial Museum recently opened near the site of the World Trade Center and the events that took place there on September 11, 2001. Included as part of the museum, a gift shop also opened, selling various merchandise connected to the museum as well as the NYPD, FDNY, and other organizations associated with the tragedy. Some people, including family members of the victims, have expressed disappointment over this monetization, so this week on BTR Pulse, Sarah Fraser asks people what they think of the gift shop.
Featured song: “Fear” by SUUNS
