| La verdad es que nos ha decepcionado un poco. El museo es una pequeña sala en la que se muestra una pequeña muestra de las fotos y restos encontrados en los escombros. El vídeo de presentación no se puede escuchar más que en inglés, por lo que mi marido no se enteró de nada ya que no entiende inglés. En general, no creo que merezca la pena. |

| We start by say that 9/11 is something highly significant in our times and a great tragedy for anyone involved so please do not mis-understand our comments.
We chose this exhibit over several others as we felt it was going to be more involving and we would see some amazing photography/pictures post the event.
We have to say that the initial video shown was of a very poor quality and that very few pictures really conveyed the emotion implied in the publicity. Indeed we felt we have seen much better (emotive and visual) photography of the event, and, given the privilege of being the sole person allowed to photograph the aftermath we feel it has largely been a missed opportunity. ie: we did not connect with the exhibits as was implied.
Additionally, the room, with tape/cd players, wires and a floor based screen, etc. was neither professionally laid out or well presented and the exhibits were crammed into too smaller place. We also felt this was not respectful of the exhibit contents.
For us 9/11 is something that will always remain in our thoughts. Fortunately, we personally suffered no loss and it is difficult to imagine what it must be like for those who did. Our thoughts are with them and for any event that can help them come to terms with their loss. We are, however, not certain that this event achieves its objectives in the manner prescribed. |

| We enjoyted the museum as it filled informaiton not on the news at the time of the clean up of Ground Zero. The photographer came and spoke with the group, giving autographs of photos he had taken during the clean up of Ground Zero. This activity is highly recomended for everyone. |

| I was totally impressed with the quality and quantity of the information packed into this hands-on museum. My time was not only well spent, but the impression made will never leave me.
The photos alone would have been great, but the additional commentary, and ability to reach out and actually touch some of the artifacts made this experience fantastic...even with the tears it brought to my eyes, and the lump to my throat . . . the images have been etched into my mind. |

| The guides were exceptional. Honored to have met Gary. I came with my grandson and I could see how he was touched by the photographs and items on display. He touched them with great reverance. It was an experience done in perfect taste and respect for the fallen. |

| The tour exposed us to the lives and experiences of those touched by 9/11. The event was emotionally and sensitively portrayed and enhanced our understanding of that terrible day. |

| This is something that everyone should see. It may be small in size, but it is big on passion and emotion. It gives a true feeling of what it was like after the devastation of 9-11. |

| The museum is in one small room and provides a very intimate experience of the recovery efforts of 9/11, a subtle powerful event that is not covered in the media. It is a quite unique museum compared to others in the city. |

| This is a much different "Sept 11th" activity that we have experienced in past NY visits. Intimate museum space, with interesting narration of the events surrounding 9-11 at whatever pace one desires, and some terrific exhibits in addition to all the photos.. |
