| The Ground Zero Workshop was one of the main highlights of my 6 day trip to NYC. It was interesting and astoundingly moving. I would (and have) recommended it to anyone going to New York. The location was not near Groung Zero itself but I would encourage everyone to make the effort to go to the Meat Packing District to attend the workshop. It is superb. |

| Inspired by the Anne Frank house, is this museum a must see for the impact of the 9/11 attacks on the lives of many people involved. It gives a face to the people who have been working on Ground Zero and what they have been facing. It is something that truly must be remembered. |

| Much has been written about September 11th. We've all read the accounts of what occured that day and we've seen pictures that have shocked us. That being said, there are stories (and images) within the story of September 11th, things that were not reported/seen in any media formats. Why? Because the media was not allowed on-site access to the World Trade Center site. However, that changed in November 2001 when Gary Marlon Suson, a New York photographer, was gained unlimited access to the site. He soon gained the trust of the police and firefighters who were involved in the cleanup/recovery. Suson's museum includes many artifacts that he was allowed to remove from the actual site. You can even hold an actual piece of World Trade Center steel, which has been shaped into a cross. The images really convey a powerful message. They show frustration, exaustion, and sadness. Every artifact and image is presented with the utmost respect and dignity. These are the accounts of a man who was there, day in and day out, right alongside the firefighters as they searched for their fallen brothers. A visit to the Ground Zero Museum Workshop will allow you to become more informed about September 11th and it's aftermath. Even more importantly, the images will provide a window to the soul of many recovery workers who gave all they had for nine months, helping to heal a strong yet bruised nation. |

| Gary Suson has captured the emotion of the Ground Zero recovery efforts in this museum. From the time I entered the door, I felt the reverence and emotion he put into both his photographs and his museum. All of the artifacts and photos truly reach out and allow the person to feel the emotion of the "brotherhood". The museum tour was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Thank you Gary Suson for being devoted to this cause. |

Our trip to the 9/11 museum was just outstanding. We've both experienced several museums in NYC, but have never been moved quite like our visit to the 9/11 museum. Both my mother and I enjoy learning about history but more importantly, learning about the symbolism of history and that is what this museum was all about for us. The 9/11 museum might be small in space, but not with information. We learned so much more about that day and the many days that followed the 9/11 attacks. Gary Suson's ability to capture history, the event, and symbolism of that day and after is just amazing. The old saying of "You get out of it what you put into it" is how I can best describe this museum. If you want to learn more about that day and the impact of that day on the many people involved, go to this museum. You just won't believe some of the things you hear and learn - just amazing! Worth every penny.
Thanks so much!

| I would like to thank Gary for this beautiful portrail of these horrific events. The emotion that is shown in his photographs along with the story being told in his voice is undescribable. The intimate setting is very comfortable and allows you to feel at home. My husband and I stayed for about 1 1/2 hours and could have stayed longer. We were not rushed and were able to move around the gallery at our leisure. Gary thank you again for doing all that you have done and are still doing for our Firefighters. My God be with you and comfort you for all you have seen and done.
My husband and I expected you to be much older than you are to take this orginally on yourself than accepting the appointment, we assumed that you had seen war or have been a firefighter/EMT in the past to be able to tolerate the horrible things you have seen. You are a fine young man telling a beautiful story about a horrific event in our nations history. Kudos to you! |

| The whole process went smoothly and easy. The purchase of the tickets were easily acquired online and printed out of my own printer at home! I strongly recommend using this service.
Thanks,

| My husband and I were due to attend the 2:30pm tour on Saturday 7th April. Due to our previous tour finishing early and the extremely cold weather we arrived early and pressed the buzzer on the door to ask if by chance you had spaces on an earlier tour and if it would be at all possible to change the time. We were informed by a very rude woman that a tour was currently in progress and to come back at 2:30pm. She then proceeded to hang up on me. Due to her attitude we were discouraged from waiting around to take your tour and left immediately. Even if it was not possible to change the time, I would have expected the person to be curteous. |

| My boyfriend and i visited the museum on 2nd April 2007.
It was a very moving experience for us both.
The exhibits were very touching and very personal and laid out with dignity and sensitivity.
The photos on the walls were incredible and it was very interesting listening to the stories behind each one.
We would highly recommend a vist.
Thank you for making us feel welcome and at ease. |
