| Even watching the all the news coverage of 9/11 you never actualy belive it realy happened, visiting this museum brings it to life by hearing all the personal experiences and tragedies of the people involved.
The emotions we experianced during our visit made us realy understand what the people of New York went through and their stories will live with us forever.
A visit to this museum should not be recomended. It should be compulsory for anyone visiting New York. |

| The fact that the museum is so small makes it so much more brilliant. The atrocities of 9/11 need to be remembered and this museum provides a vital inner viewpoint. The astonishing remnants from the buildings alongside the images with their moving stories really does make for a very good 2 hours. |

| Before I visited this museum, I had not taken on board how much work and effort was required to search through the remains of the Twin Towers and that there was life after the tragedy. It was fascinating and very moving to learn about the NYC firemen's very brave efforts at Ground Zero and to learn their own stories and of their official photographer, Gary Suson who gave many months of his time to document it all. The museum although very small makes for an intimate visit, with no more than 20 or so people allowed in at any one time. I can't recommend it more highly and hope that Gary's photographs will be included in the museum proposed by NY at the Ground Zero site. |

| One room, but what a room. Informative narrative given at the beginning and then time to look at everything with an audio tour. It is a tasteful and sensetive journey in photographs and artifactsof post 9/11. If visiting New York do not miss it. A highly emotional experience, enjoyed may not be the right word but we did for all the right reasons. We visited from the Uk and will make sure anyone we know visiting NYC knows about this gem. |

| It's remarkable what has been done with a one-room museum. Thoroughly recommended, but expect to shed a tear or two. |

| I visited the Ground Zero Museum on the anniversary of 9/11 in 2009 and was very impressed with the various exhibits and the professionalism of the staff who were present on the day.
I was expecting to be overwhelmed by the nature of the exhibits, but because of the way in which each individual item is displayed and described with such reverence and respect via the audio headphones provided, I felt almost at peace as I wandered around the various exhibits. The descriptions of how the various items were found were very interesting, but the stories about the individuals and their acts of heroism and bravery were most impressive.
Although small, the museum had a big impact upon the way I now recall the events of 9/11. It gave me a greater understanding of the initial air strikes and what the rescue workers and volunteers subsequently encountered. It also reinforced in me a belief that such an event must never be allowed to recur.
I was also very interested to hear first-hand the story of Gary Suson, the only official photographer allowed on site after the tragedy, and was very impressed that he was there that day at the museum. Gary spoke of his time at Ground Zero, and I now have his beautiful book of photographs as an excellent memory of my visit to the Ground Zero Museum.
I would have no hesitation in recommending that every visitor to New York City visit this excellent museum which highlights such a tragic event but which also immortalises the very brave men, women and rescue dogs who lost their lives on that day and subsequently. |
