| Can't say enough about this museum. Was definitely the highlight of our 4 day trip to New York. A wonderful exhibit expressed through the use of video, pictures and artifacts. So much to see and experience in one small room. This is a MUST see...you will not be disappointed. |

| My outlook on the event has completly changed from visiting this workshop.This is a very tastefully done tribute to those that were lost that day.You can touch artifacts as well as listen to stories behind pictures. Gary has done a fantastic job in capturing the emotion-no words are needed for the pictures as they tell the story,something which I found very moving.
Watching the event on T.V was one thing, but visiting the workshop really opened my eyes.The guide was fantastic as she took her time to go through the artifacts & pictures.
A must see if in New York. |

| Overall the small museum provided a great perspective focused on the recovery process at ground zero. The photos were exceptional, and the stories behind them provided a personal view of the experience. The museum was primarily photography; however there were several artifacts from ground zero that provided an additionally chilling experience. |

| Our visit was extremely informative about the event ,all those involved victims and recovery personnel.It is sad that what is happening to the recovery workers police,fire fighters etc isn't being told to the world as the after effects of this tragedy is just as horrific as the event itself.I would and have suggested to others that this tour is a must for every human being and my heart goes out to everyone involved.Thankyou it will remain with me for the rest of my life |

| The Ground Zero Workshop Museum was an extremely emotional experience. To see and hear about the people who worked so tirelessly and carefully to find anything they could find after the horrible tragedy of 9-11 was amazing. It was all done in such a sensitive and caring way. The photos and the artifacts were incredibly moving. The space is very quiet and intimate and makes the experience all that more emotional. This is definitely a must-see when visiting New York. I highly recommend this museum to everyone. |

| The Ground Zero Museum Workshop gives you a very upright, honest insiders look into 9/11 and the recovery operation. Much more personal than the "official" Ground Zero Visitor Center near the site. And you can see the Meatpacking District as well. |

| This very intimate "museum" is well worth the visit. The display is very well organized and narrated. Our experience was very emotional (most people in our time slot cried, to various degrees), but it was very inspiring and insightful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. |

| Tour Length : 1-1:30hrs approx.
Tour Location : You stay in the building (You DO NOT visit Ground Zero on the tour)
Restroom : Yes
Having read recent customer reviews, my sister and I decided to book this tour to see the up-close-and-personal photos/artefacts following the atrocities on 9/11.
What followed was emotional. After being greeted by the guide (usually a person who was there that day) you are invited to watch an interview with Gary Marlon Suson (the OFFICIAL photographer at Ground Zero) and then a montage of photos dubbed over with actual phone/radio chatter from that fateful day.
After this you are given your own personal electronic 'story-teller'. All around the room are photos taken by Gary and arfefacts from Ground Zero, each has a number, you tap the number in your 'story-teller' and a clip of Gary himself telling you the inside story of that piece.
You are actually allowed to hold certain pieces frowm Ground Zero, this allows you to have some sort of connection.
This is a very well put together workshop, and any money made from sales of books/posters/cards will be shared among the victim's families.
There is no rush to get round and listen to every story of every picture/artefact as you can easily get round before the next tour starts.
Our tour guide was Lou (who volunteers at the church across the street from Ground Zero, St Paul's I think - another must see) and Gary Suson was also there to give an introduction.
All-in-all this is a must see workshop if you want to see photos that have never been seen in public. |

| This was such a tasteful and intriguing exhibit. The tour guide was very friendly and the museum provides such an insight into 9/11. There really aren't words to describe this museum, it is truly one of a kind. I recommend that everyone who goes near New York City stops into this museum! I will never forget my visit to this museum. |
