This little gem of a museum is definitely a work of "heart" as well as art. The pictures were great & seeing the artefacts brought back memories of that fateful day. "We will not forget" - thank you to Gary for creating this memorial. |

This tour was amazing...initially I wasn't sure, because it's sort of hidden and the museum is small - I wondered if we would be there more than 30 minutes, let along an hour and a half...but once you realize the enormity and uniqueness (is that a word?) of what is exhibited, it blows your mind and tugs on your heart - we stayed until the very end and could have used another half hour at least.
I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is interested in witnessing first hand accounts of the tedious, gut wrenching, emotional recovery process. Very humbling.
One suggestion I might make...the tour guides were extremely knowledgable and engaging...some of the things they shared, you heard on the video and then again when you listened to the narrative of the photos...it was slightly redundent...maybe the guides' focus could be more on what the plans for ground zero are or how the fire department & police department have replaced their great loss, how 9/11 has changed emergency response...just a thought.
Thank you for letting us relive the heroism and determination of all the special people who assisted with the recovery process, through your camera lens!

The strong emotional impact of the space and its contents hit us first but it was the caring gentleness of the tour leader that brought us into the space and allowed us to experience what the intention of the museum workshop seems to be
It was truly amazing on how many levels the photos and artifacts impacted me
I highly recommend this museum |

We had the privlidge of having Mr. Gary Suson lead our tour. The museum is well thought out and a tribute to all of those who lost their lives on 9/11. We will definately visit the museum again when we are in NYC. Thank you Mr. Suson for taking the time to lead our tour. |

Glad I took this Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour. I visited Ground Zero in 2004. When I read about this tour this year, I thought it sounded interesting & definitely wanted to do it since I was going to be in NY Sept. 12-18, 2007-6 years since it happened. Nothing gruesome but of course, some sad moments when you hear the stories behind the pictures. |

The photos brought me into 9/11 & the recovery, making the "surreal" real. Something I believe everyone should experience. We had the honor of having the photographer/ artist as our tour guide. He has incredible talent & a heart to match! He knew & shared the story behind every photo. |

This was a very emotional experience. The small scale and the personal interaction of the museum serves the viewer very well. It is as close to being "there" as I would ever want to be. |

When my Mom and I came to the outside of the museum, we weren't too sure what to think. It was unpretentious, and not what we expected. BUT BOY....when we got in there. We were captivated for every second. It should be a requirement for every American. Especially for those who weren't directly affected. I wanted to take my Mom here as a part of our day in NY (I live in NJ) because its seems like people who don't live near here have forgotten or really don't fully understand the impact of this event...and especially now, while we are at war. Its one thing to see the site now "just" a big hole in the ground. Its another to SEE what the people went through, and the rescuers especially. This museum is wonderfully and thoughtfully done. Thanks to Gary M. Suson. |

WHEN MY RETIRED FIREMAN FRIEND AND I WALKED INTO THE ROOM..WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. THEN WHEN WE REVIEWED ALL THE AUDIO COUPLED WITH THE PHOTOS AND ARTIFACTS, WE WERE DEEPLY TOUCHED BY THE EXCELLENT NATURE OF PRESERVING THE EVENTS THAT HAPPEN ON THAT DAY...AS WELL AS...FUTURE EVENTS...VERY INFORMATIVE...WILL ALWAYS REFER ANY ONE THAT GOES TO NEW YORK TO STOP BY..AND TAKE A MOMENT TO VISIT THIS WONDERFUL MEMORIAL |
