If you have time on Thursday, this is a wonderful opportunity. Being there on the anniversary is really special.

Cox Communications will again provide free admission to the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum for all visitors on Thursday, April 19. This year marks the seventeenth anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City.

Following the Remembrance Ceremony which begins at 8:55 a.m., the Memorial & Museum will open at 10:00 a.m. and will remain open until 5:00 p.m.

“Cox is proud to continue this annual tradition,” said Percy Kirk, vice president and region manager of Cox Oklahoma. “We believe it is important on this special day of remembrance that all visitors to the Memorial be able to tour the Museum at no cost.”

In addition to the free Museum admission sponsored by Cox, visitors to the Memorial will be able to attend A Conversation with Dr. Michael Berenbaum at 4 p.m. The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, along with partners at the Jewish Federation of Greater Oklahoma City, will be hosting Dr. Berenbaum, who is a writer, lecturer, teacher and museum development consultant who contributed to the conceptual design of the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. To register to attend A Conversation with Dr. Michael Berenbaum, please visit OklahomaCityNationalMemorial.org.
