| THE WORKSHOP WAS WONDERFUL. VERY MOVING. SINCE SO MANY OF US JUST WATCHED ON TV, THIS REALLY BROUGHT IT HOME. BEING ABLE TO SEE ACTUAL PIECES OF THE GLASS AND SUCH WAS MEMORABLE. HAVE ALREADY TOLD ANYONE THAT IF THEY GET TO NYC, THEY MUST SEE GROUND ZERO MUSEUM WORKSHOP. WHAT GARY HAS DONE AND IS STILL DOING IS VERY COMMENDABLE. |

| Thank you for putting together such a touching memorial of this terrible attack. I signed up via the internet (found out about it via web surfing). I took my 14yr old nephew. We were both thankful for the opportunity to learn more of the stories of this time. Although it is not a typical 'feel-good' type of experience...it is one everyone visiting NY should experience. It reminded us of the good that is found in so many others...to be grateful for every breath that we take...every day is a gift from above. My nephew and I learned alot from this visit; we will certainly encourage others to visit. Thank you for your touching tribute. May God bless you for your efforts, and all the families of those lost that day. |

| This exhibit speaks volumes that mere words could never capture. It is sensitively respectful, yet appropriately informative of the horrors experienced on 9/11. We had never been to NY, and truly had no idea of the scope this tragedy encompassed. Suson's photography was haunting, and he personally offered touching stories behind each and every photo and artifact. We feel truly honored to have experienced this exhibit. |

| What a wonderful way to pay tribute to 911. It was respectful, informative and intriguing. My stepmother was nervous about coming, having grown up in New York. The museum is done in such a tasteful manner that it brought up a good memory, the last dinner she had with her parents was the restaurant at the top of World Trade Center.
Thank you so much |

| A few of my friends were wives of firefighters. The presentation was very well done.
Sean was the host on September 22. Being able to listen to explanations of specific
pictures was to me a great idea. The host was to the point and seemed enthusiastic to answers questions. |

| My sister & I visited New York recently & I suggested we visit the Ground Zero Museum as a way of marking our respect for those who lost their lives on 9/11 and their surviving family, friends and colleagues. We also wanted to acknowledge the NYFD, NYPD, Rescue Workers, other service personell and the Chaplains of various faiths who worked so hard for so long to rescue people, alive and dead. We were not sure what to expect other than photographs by Gary Marlon Suson. I can only speak for myself about how I felt upon walking up the stairs into the gallery - I thought I might not be able to hold it together and become very emotional but the presentation was so respectful & it was openly acknowledged that it would be human to become emotional. Seeing the photos and some of the remnants of 9/11 was almost too much to withstand initially so I reminded myself how much worse it was for those who suffered on that day and the continued suffering of their families, colleagues and friends. It was a peaceful environment and the young woman guiding the tour was outstanding in her presentation. I am very grateful that I was able to visit the Ground Zero Museum and hope it long continues to offer some comfort to the people of New York. It's okay to cry and boxes of tissus are discretely placed around the studio. |

| I would definitely recommend the Ground Zero Museum. It is an emotional and intimate experience - with over 100 exhibits displayed in just a small studio room. The tour starts with a couple of short video clips which are very moving - lots of tissues being passed around - then there is the chance to hold some artifacts extracted from Ground Zero. Finally the audio tour lets you hear the stories behind chosen exhibits and photographs. There's 2 hours allocated to each tour, so there is time to hear every story, if you can handle it. |

| My family were in New York for the first time, 2 years after 9/11. We visited Ground Zero then and on subsequent visits, but although deeply moved (and as the rebuild has progressed, encouraged) I have always felt a little voyeuristic, so I wasn't sure about this museum. It was highly recommended, but I was concerned about sensationalism being used to profit from such a profoundly sad historical event.
I needn't have worried. It is a tiny place, but it's stories take around two hours to tell. Essentially it is a chronicle of how the New York Fire Department coped with the aftermath - from the recovery of the victims to the clearing of the site. There are stories and images here that will stay with you forever and the whole thing is very carefully, compassionately and tastefully presented. There is nothing gory or overly dramatic here, it is simply real life, at that time and place, captured on film.
Truly amazing and highly recommended. |
