| My two sisters and I traveled from Iowa to view this memorial to 9-11, and it was very well done and we felt that it was a fitting tribute to those who died on 9-11. We hope that all peoples who mourn those who perished in these attacks, will go to experience this memorial. Our guide was so nice and concerned that we benefit from all the displays and really explained everything in the exhibit. Thank you so much.. |

| The photographs, artifacts, and the accompanying story lines (on the audio devices) provide insight and little-known stories about an event which changed the world and the US forever. |

| Like my reaction to the events of 9/11 my workshop experience was very personal. As a native New Yorker living on the west coast I felt a need to be more connected to those affected by the tragedy. I have always felt something was "missing" for me because I wasn't there when it happened and so I made a special trip to New York to visit Ground Zero and the Museum Workshop. Seeing the photos of the rescue workers, hearing the stories behind the photos, and actually being able to touch pieces of the World Trade Center gave me the connection and understanding I was looking for. It's a very powerful experience and one that should not be missed. Never forget. |

| It was just an "o.k." exhibit, not as good as what I had expected from reading previous reviews. There was much repetition from the video, handout, guide comments and the actual exhibit. |

Don't Miss!

| After reading other reviews, we decided to take a chance on this one and we're so glad that we did. This is a very small but powerful museum. We met Gary the photographer, and what he has done is a true gift to all of us. The film and audio of the photographs were not only amazing, they were respectful and dignified, a wonderful tribute to the families of the victims of this unimaginable attack on our country. The setting is initimate and the group size small so that you can take your time to examine and think upon each photograph. The artifacts from Ground Zero and the personal stories allow you relive September 11, renew your patriotic spirit and have a personal insight into the entire process following the attack. Make this #1 on your list of things to do in New York City! You won't be disappointed. |

| This museum is excellent. It is very small and intimate. The gentleman who narrated parts of the museum was very knowledgeable and sincere. The pictures and artifacts are very nice and not at all grim. No pictures of body parts for example. We enjoyed ourselves very much and came away with much new knowledge of the 9-11 incident. Thank you very much for the opportunity to praise this museum to the public. |

| This museum workshop was intimate and honored those who lost their lives or their families on 9/11. It brought the reality of the World Trade Center losses to life in a touching and memorable way. I highly recommend this. |

| I don't call this a museum. I thought it was a personal photographer's showing of his pictures. You play on peoples' emotions and probably pass yourselves off as firefighters when in fact you may not be.
I was disappointed! |

| My husband and I were struck by the emotion we felt once we entered the Museum, The pictures the photographer took told the devastating tragedy and terror of that terrible day in New York.You are given a phone to use as you walk around the room and listen to his words. The young man there on the day told a lovely story about one of the husband's arriving there to look at articles and in particular a piece of the plane that hit one of the buildings. His wife had been killed on that day as she was high up in one of the Towers. There were tears running down several peoples faces including my own...............
It has been put together so well and anyone who is travelling to New york this is a must . We travelled from Australia and it was one of the "must do's" on our list, and we weren't disappointed. 9/11 was a terrible, terrible day in everyones life wherever one lives around the world . It has changed our lives forever and this very special Ground Zero Museum enabled my husband and I to spend time there to just look, feel and listen to what went on that day and try to feel in some small way what that terrible day meant to all those families involved.
I would highly recommend taking the time to visit Ground Zero Museum Workshop. My husband and I will never forget it................. |
