The museum is chronologically-organized, moving from the horrific tragedy's first blast on that April day of 1995 through to the convictions of the perpetrators and the aftermath in OKC. The memorial outside is beautiful with a reflecting pool and an excellent talk from a park ranger explaining various symbolic features of the memorial. Poignant, informative, and impressive, this memorial will remind visitors of OKC's resilience and of the bravery of its first responders, as well as the danger of radical groups who commit acts of terror and slaughter for the sake of their twisted ideology.

This is a powerful memorial. Small enough for everyone to walk around in, large enough to make the feeling clear. I can't believe it's been 20 years.

The museum takes you to that very day, giving you quite an insight into what it was like there that very date. Very moving.

This sight will leave you absolutely speechless. Its the kind of place where everyone whispers out of respect.

I have visited the memorial several times, but finally went to the museum on my most recent visit. The museum is very high-quality with multi-media exhibits throughout the museum that have more information than you could possibly hope to read. Some of the more powerful elements of the experience are the room where you listen to an actual recording of the bombing from a meeting in a nearby building, and the next room which is styled to look like debris and includes artifacts retrieved from the wreckage. Do sit down at some of the computer touch-screen stations to listen to interviews from survivors, rescuers, and media personnel about their experiences, and information on the victims of the bombing. We did not allow ourselves enough time for the extensive exhibits and had to push our lunch very late, so plan ahead to take at least 3 hours for the museum. The only concern I had was I felt there was a little too much information on the perpetrators of the bombing, whom I feel should be forgotten rather than immortalized by history.
