| 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! |

Emotional,a must see for every traveller.

| 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................. |

| Thank you so much for providing this museum. To actually hold a cross and a star of David, made from the steel from Ground Zero was a reminder that God will continue to be with the victims' families and with our nation. I will always pray for the families of the victims as well as for the fire and police department and other workers at Ground Zero. The photographs are so well done and each audio was a moving experience. Thank you, Mr. Suson for your dedication in using your talents for an important museum.... Lest we forget. |

| This small initimate museum portrays sensitively the events of 9/11. The self guided audio head sets allow you to take in what you want from the displayed photographs around the room, order is not important. It is the overall experience that counts. Although sad it is an important collection with a message to the viewer that we should never forget the day that the world lost its innocence.
It was a bonus to meet the photographer on the day we attended. |

| The intimacy of the setting created a feeling that you had walked right into the living room of someone's life. It was peaceful, but at the same time a painful reminder of that period in our lives. It was private, and very moving. Although photographs were allowed to be taken, it felt as if one should not. It was that personal of a voyage for the two of us that attended the workshop. |

| We had a special treat with Gary the photographer there to introduce the exhibits and to answer questions. That made the connection with 9/11 real and personal.
The photographs were each supported by the audio story for each one and made the photographs much more understandable with meaning.
The exhibits of artifacts were heart rending since they showed the battering that even those things that survived took. I was amazed that some things survived from Windows on the World, the restaurant where I had eaten several times.
Seeing a piece of the American Airlines #11 airliner brought the horror home as did pieces of the World Trade Center glass that somehow survived.
The only thing that surprised me was how small the room was, perhaps 25-30 feet square. Even then, it was not crowded since only a limited number are accepted for each two hour slot. And there was enough there that we easily spent the whole two hours engrossed in the material.
It will help us "never forget!"

| We knew it would be memorable from the previous reviews but nothing can prepare you for the 2 hours that you spend with Gary. The film footage is particularly emotional and we now understand the need for the boxes of tissues placed around the room. The tour of the images and artifacts is very professionally presented, please take time and try to see & hear them all. Don't be afraid to shed a tear.
And please buy the book "Requiem". We did and will one day hand it to our Grandchildren to help them understand how the world changed forever on 9/11. |

| I, along with three of my girlfriends from the UK, visited the museum on Dec 11th 2007.
We were not at all certain what to expect, hoping it would not dwell on the morbid.
Our main purpose was to pay our respects to all those who lost their lives on Sept 11th, also to their families and friends.
We need not have been concerned. From the moment we rang the bell, we were warmly welcomed by Lou, who gave the talk, also Gary Suson himself who happened to be at the museum that day.
We appreciated the ability to absorb the exhibits in our own time. The hand held commentary devices were ideal.
We found the entire experience to be moving and a great testimonial to the ultimate love and comradeship of the "first responders"
Thank you Gary |
