| It was very moving and it gave me and my boyfriend an insight to/idea of the impact September 11 had on America and its people. It's remarkable that Gary and all these people came together in such an inspiring way and even more inspiring that Gary chose to put his whole life and soul into making this museum and thereby keeping the memory of this amazing recovery alive. In my opinion, the museum deserves all the attention it can get and I'm just thankful that I was fortunate enough to find out about it on www.viator.com

| The museum touched me in a very special way. It showed the "after effects" to every day people. I liked it because it wasn't about the dreadful day itself, but the tough and touching moments after. I felt seeing the recovery in the eyes of one compassionate man instead of the media was the key ingredient in making this museum a must see. As a first time visitor to New York, I could have missed the other sites and my trip would have still been great, not going to this museum would have taken away from the "trip of a lifetime" feeling I had after we returned home. |

| This experience was moving, inspirational, rewarding and interesting. You see, hear and feel the experience of the 911 recovery. You move thru the museum at your own pace, with an electronic museum guide narrated by Gary Marlon Suson himself. This tour is truly tailored to your view - you can spend lots of time looking at one thing, bypass whatever you like, ask questions and hold some of the artifacts in your own hands. And, if you're lucky, the artist himself will be there to guide your tour and answer any questions. This was the best museum experience we have ever had - bar none. |

| I did not know what to expect after arriving at the location. Once you enter the room it is like you enter a part of history. Seeing the pictures and all the relics that were recovered from Ground Zero made you feel sad but overwhelmed by everything. It is unbelievable. A must see by everyone. Helps you inderstand more of what happened that day and for months after that fateful day. Gary did a wonderful job. I hope it stays open for a very long time. I want my grandchildren to see it. I stll can't stop talking about it and what I learned that day. The earphones and the ability to hear the stories behind the pictures and items from Ground Zero is the greatest idea. Thanks for the best part of my day trip to New York. |

| It's a rare thing to have such individual guidence in a museum. The space is small and therefore you are able to really begin to process the magnitude of 9/11.
It's a very special and unique experience compared to larger museums and gives a feeling of what that day must have been like for people who were actually in NY as oppossed to what people saw through the media watching from around the world. |

| My son has read and watched many documentaries about 9-11. He is 30 years old and lives in Colorado. He and I attending the workshop and it was the highlight of the trip to NY.
We were especially moved because the photographer and curator of the museum was out guide for the experience. His knowledge, openness, warmth, and emotional connection brought the experience to a highly sensitive level. We are recommending it to as many of our acquaintances and friends who may be traveling to NY in the near future.
It is an incredibly moving experience and I can't give it a high enough rating! |

| It was humbling to actually be able to hold and touch things from that day. Most of us have no idea what people went through, but this tour helps you to realize. I have not stopped talking about it since I was there. |

| This tour was so emotionally moving. 911 affected every American. By being a witness to the tragedy , this tour helped with healing and understanding of what New Yorkers went through on that day and what it took to overcome this. Gary was there along with his helper Sean. They made me feel so welcome and so grateful for coming to their workshop. It has to be the most memorable part of my trip to New York. Thank you Gary, and God bless you for what you did with your museum. |

| This is one of the best museums. There is just so much information all packed into such a little room. It was time very well spent. I recommend it for anyone who wants to go beyond what you see on TV. It was a very moving experience. Thank you so much to the photographer that has allowed us to explore these images. It was truely a Must See. |
