| we were so moved by the workshop. my 13 year old daughter will be doing a research project on the museum and gary. our whole group was so impressed and it was the highlight of our weekend in nyc. i have since recommended to 2 groups from louisiana who are going to nyc in the next few months.
thanks for all the help over the phone by the zerve telephone operators--they were great...i had lots of questions and they were so patient. |

| We visited the museum prior to going to the site of the World Trade Center and this was a big plus as it gave us a better perspective of what we saw at the actual site. My son and I were the only ones at the museum on the day we visited and were lucky enough to have a private guided tour by Gary, the photographer who took the photos and collected the relics from the site.
The museum is not that big, perhaps only 500 - 700 sq ft. however there are a large number of photos and items that can be viewed. Every item that Gary collected has a story behind it. In the future rather than being toured around the museum personally you will be given a headset with a pre-recorded tour. For the price of $16/person this is very good value. My 16 year old son, who is not easy to please, throughly enjoyed the tour and really appreciated it once we got to the World Trade Center site.
The museum is located in the meat packing district about 2 miles away from the actual World Trade Center site. Gary actually took photographs from the top of the building on Sept. 11th which are displayed in the museum. |

| The museum was personal and up close. Gary Suson gave depth to the images he created and made them personal rather than documentary.
My Son who is now Ten years old was Five when the disater hit and saw many horrible and repeated images on televison, this experience did not frighten him the way the media hype did.
The museum opens up a dramatic interpretation on how the recovery operation went while giving a sense of the reality of everyday operations at Ground Zero. The men and women who lost Brothers, Sisters, Friends and Family are shown as real people rather than newsclip heros and gives a sense of why we must Never Forget.

| Gary is simply amazing, I was so honored to have him as a guide. The amount of heart and attention put by individuals so involved in 9/11 to honour the memory of friends and strangers through the interaction with uncanny objects and brilliant photographs is just breathtaking. There is just so much emotion in that well-tended space- to remind us of the fragility of our tenuous peace and to never forget the significance of the event. Yet the most important thing that this memorial brings up is the hope and love between people; celebrating their bravery, passion and strength in trying times. |

| An intimate and moving tribute to the fallen victims of 9-11. Our tour was led by the photographer himself, Gary Suson. He provided a very touching first hand commentary of someone who was there for the recovery process. I highly recommend this museum as part of the Ground Zero experience. |
