Activity Description
Located just 7 minutes from Ground Zero in the Meat Packing District, the Ground Zero Museum Workshop exhibits 100 of Gary Marlon Suson's most notable photographs from the Ground Zero Recovery, including the Ground Zero Bible Page, the Clock stopped at 10:02 AM from September 11, the "Today is 11" Calendar Page, and several Honor Guard images. The entire collection was dubbed "Rare Photos" by the New York Times in 2002. Mr. Suson, an FDNY Honorary Battalion Chief, authored the highly acclaimed Barnes & Noble photography book, "Requiem: Images of Ground Zero."
In addition to striking photographic images, you will also see:- Artifacts from the Recovery
- Items worn by Recovery workers
- Actual tools that were used for digging
- Rare video footage from inside the World Trade
Center site displayed on large screen in surround sound
We use the word "workshop" because it is interactive by nature. You will be able pick up and hold certain items to get a greater understanding of what took place during the 9/11 Recovery. The museum also features lifelike 3-D Installations that place viewers right into the "hole" at Ground Zero.
The Ground Zero Museum Workshop is the only museum of its kind in New York. It is a beautiful place for tourists, family members, and locals alike. You will not see images like these anywhere else in the world. Each image/artifact has a special story, narrated by your guide, some of whom participated in the Recovery. Self-Guided Audio Tour Units (narrated by Gary Suson) included with each ticket purchase (Spanish, French & Italian versions now available!)
Come and enter a 'time capsule' that travels past the security gates and down into the muddy confines of Ground Zero, circa 2001-2002.
A Non-Profit Museum.
