Twin Towers, Oak Ridge, TN

Today we took a ride around the Knoxville looking at many different and fascinating places, from the Concord Lake, Tennessee River, to the American Museum of Science and Energy at Oak Ridge.

As I love science I found this to be one of the most interesting museums I have ever visited. Earlier this week the world remembered the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York.

At the entrance to this museum stands the Twin Tower replica. See more details below.

This Twin Towers replica stands about 20 feet tall, and is made of rusted, ragged steel scraps somehow welded together in an airy lattice. It has an eerie, 1960s comic book, post-atomic holocaust look to it, which perhaps explains its location outside of The American Museum of Science and Industry, formerly known as the American Museum of Atomic Energy. "World Trade Center: Sculpture of Steel" is its official title; a gift from Limor Steel of Nashville, Tennessee.
