Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

Very inspiring, informative, and well done. Especially meaningful as the photographer was the one who conducted the program. Liked the smallness of it...small group and not an overwhelming display. Very well done and have recommended to those I have talked to about my trip to NYC.

a great look at the work done in the "pit" - well worth the visit

My husband and I are New Yorkers and did not know about the museum. My grandson, who is 12 years old and lives in Brookline, Ma., told me he wanted to see it. What shocked me was that he knew about it and here I am in NYC and did not know about it. To say I am very appreciative to my grandson for suggesting this activity, is putting it mildly. It is moving, jarring, very sad but very enlightening. While watching the film and seeing the artifacts I felt as though I was there. This is a museum that should be available for all to see. The only recommendation I would offer is to get larger quarters.

This small museum was definitely worth the price of admission. The 2 videos presented in the beginning were excellent, as well as the photos and memorabilia from 9-11. I liked that they only took a small group of people since the space was small. They give you plenty of time to see everything. Great audio info. To go along with the exhibit!

Very interesting and very moving

This venue is very small but packed with very emotion provoking photos from 9/11. Our time there was very well spent. I would highly recommend this museum.

Strongly suggest taking in this one room museum of 9/11 photos BEFORE going to the 9/11 Memorial site. The photos and artifacts in this museum are powerful, emotional and inspirational all at the same time. Really like that the photographer told the story that accompanies each photo through the use of a headset. You will need two hours if you really want to see and hear it all. It totally brings back the events of that day and following weeks...lest we forget!

Af first we thought that the museum was quite small. However, after a heartfelt introduction by the host we toured the room listening to the commentary, via the headphones, about each photograph and exhibit by the official photographer himself. The fact that you were effectively in a private world listening to someone who had such a close relationship with the people involved, contributed to a moving and unique experience. Visiting New York for the first time we left feeling much closer to the events of 911 and quite emotional..

After an initial introduction, visitors are left to themselves for the majority of the visit. This comprised viewing the numbered exhibits, each with its own commentary via a headset. A limited number of mementoes are available and visitors should take note that many more are available at the memorial site. It can be quite emotional even if you suffered no direct loss as a result of the tragedy so be prepared. The only downside for me was that the young lady giving the introduction was quite softly spoken and, together with the noise from the air conditioner, I missed most of what she said.

An atypical "museum"....rather a collection of story telling photographs and artifacts. It was a valuable introduction to seeing the memorial....perhaps there are plans to bring the exhibit closer to the memorial? The entire space needed a deep cleaning.
