George W. Bush is marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with an exhibition of 16 paintings at his presidential center in Dallas.
The exhibition, titled “Remembering 9/11,” presents works by the former U.S. president, who served in the White House from 2001 to 2009 and turned to painting after leaving office.
The attacks killed thousands after 19 members of the Islamist militant organization al-Qaida hijacked four passenger planes. Two struck the World Trade Center towers in New York, one hit the Pentagon and a fourth crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers resisted the hijackers.
The paintings will remain on display until September 30. According to the museum, they reflect the courage, sacrifice and resilience shown during one of the most consequential events in the United States.
