About this tour
The Pentagon 9/11 Memorial in Arlington, Virginia is one of the nation’s most intimate and architecturally meaningful memorials dedicated to the events of September 11, 2001. This self-guided audio tour offers an exploration of the Pentagon Memorial, which tells its story through design rather than relying on monuments or heroic imagery. The tour helps you learn how to “read” that design so you can engage with the space more deeply, while giving you the freedom to pause, observe, and reflect at your own pace. The tour starts in the parking area in front of the Pentagon building. It places the memorial within its broader physical and historical context, drawing attention to its relationship with the Pentagon building, nearby roadways, and the everyday activity that continues around it. This tour offers a contemporary perspective on those themes through a site shaped by collaboration with victims’ families and a commitment to individualised remembrance.
