| We were very glad that we went to the Ground Zero Museum Workshop. It is a very touching and intimate setting where you can see artifacts and photographs. This is a place that tells the stories of many on that sad day. God Bless Gary Suson for using his photographs for good and for helping the world heal.
This is also perfect for people who cannot do a lot of walking. I would highly recommend for teens and older as it is very emotional. My teenage daughter was very touched by the the museum and is glad that she went with her grandmother and I.
We will never forget. |

| It was so informative to see so many pictures of the recovery process after Sept 11, and to hear the actual audio of many people there was at times an emotional experience. Also being able to see a piece of one of the planes and touch some of the Twin Towers windows really brought the tragedy home. |

| The Museum itself was very incredible, small yet full of information. My favorite part of it was how many untold stories it had. The pictures are breath taking and artifacts indescribable, but you may want to buy your tickets directly from the museum-Zerve is overpriced. As much as it is an amazing place, its not worth what they'll charge you. |

| THIS MUSEUM WAS SO MUCH MORE THAN I EXPECTED !! THE GUIDE WAS TOP NOTCH .
THE PHOTOS AND THE ARTIFACTS BRING FORTH SUCH A DEPTH OF EMOTION WHICH IS SO VERY DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE. I PURCHASED THE BOOK SO THAT I MAY EXPERIENCE THE WONDER OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND STORIES FREQUENTLY. THE ENTIRE PROCESS AND MUSEUM WAS TASTEFULLY DONE WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE DEVASTATION OF HUMAN LIVES.
THE ONLY REGRET WAS THAT I DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET MR. SUSON. HE HAS GIVEN THE WORLD AN INTIMATE INSIGHT OF THAT DEVASTING DAY. THANK YOU, MR. SUSON.
NO ONE SHOULD MISS THIS MUSEUM. IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES. |

| When we first entered the museum, we were doubtful as to what it would be, because it was one small room only. Well we have the pleasure of the currator/ creator, Gary there with us, and his staff of 2. Gary began the presentation and then turned it over to his assistant.
They gave us a brief descriprions of the various pictures and some other background on various things relating to the exhibit. After that the tour was at our own speed with the use of prerecorded listening devices. Each picture had a number that corresponded to handheld listening device, which told the story behind the picture.
We were free to do as we pleased at our own pace and re listen to things if we didn;t fully understand what we heard the first time.
This museum even though it was as small as it is, gave a better first hand story of what really went on during the recovery, than any of the major news outlets worldwide.
This probably was because of the access the photographer was given and the expertise in which he did his job. There are no pictures of anything that people could consider morbid ( no dead bodies or remains of any kind we photographed) by request of he Fire Department.
He put into pictures what no other news reporter or other camerman was able too.
For anyone who visits New York and does not go to see this exhibit, you are missing out on the truly greatest story of the horrific events of 9/11. This exhibit hopefully will forever remain the fitting tribute to the hero's of that tragic day. |

Best Way to "See" Ground Zero

| This is such a phenomenal exhibit of photos and artifacts. It was the most moving exhibit I have ever seen. The way the photos are depicted and the audio stories that go with each one allows you to feel like you were at Ground Zero participating in the recovery efforts.
The exhibit is well presented, demonstrating a significant amount of dignity and respect for the events of 9/11 as well as the recovery efforts in the months following.
Mr. Suson, the photographer presenting this exhibit is extremely talented, indeed. However, the characteristic that I most appreciated was his passion and reverance for event he was filming.
I believe this is a "must see" for any one traveling to NYC who wants to "see" Ground Zero. It is a beautiful way of letting children experience this... even if they were not born when the 9/11 events happened. |

| With this exhibit we will not forget the people, the images, the pain, the loss and our hearts can hold 9/11 to honor and remember our fallen fellow USA citizens. Even thought this was such a horrible thing and you see the picture with the big WHY? someone had written and we truly cannot understand you can still see the hand of God and khow he protected so many and even though we don't understand we know that His ways are higher and bigger than ours are and He is truly in control. He writes the final chapter in life and in the end He will prevail against all of this evil. Then all will know that He is the one and only true God. Thank you for sharing this exhibit with us. It spoke volumes to me and my children. |

| I enjoyed the Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour and I believe it was the highlight of my trip to New York. I really wished I would have gotten a little more time during the self guided tour to listen to all of the exhibits, but I can understand their time constraints. I believe that everyone should take the chance to visit! |

| Book this as it is well worth experiencing, very much an intimate exhibition which at first feels very small but the stories and commentary behind each of the exhibits and photos really give a feel for the history of the day and months after 9-11. |
