| Incredible. This is a must see attraction if you're visiting NYC. Don't let the size of the museum fool you, you'll need all 2 hours to absorb everything. |

| My husband & I reently enjoyed a long weekend to New York to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. My daughter recommended a visit to the museum following her trip earlier this year. I cannot express how moving this exhibit is and how Gary's photographs portrayed the monumental events of Sept 11th. Many people in the group were moved to silent tears as indeed was I. I thoroughly recommend this tour and defy anyone not to be moved by this pictorial and audio history of events during that tragic time. I salute all members of the emergency services who worked tirelessly in their efforts to rescue people, and for those who lost their lives, we will never forget. |

Thank you Gary!!!!

| Very moving. The pictures show true American spirit and were well done. I still grieve for the many families who lost so many. Thank you Gary for allowing us to see your work. |

| I attended the museum workshop with my 16 yr old brother who wanted to see it before he went back to school. We both were expected a large museum, and to our surprise it was not. Although the museum was fairly small, it was very intimate. It shared all of the memories of what happened through picture and artifacts. I would recommend this to anyone. A few more members of my family are already planning a trip to see this. |

| I realized there where many aspects of 9/11 that I had not gave much thought to. I did not realize the lasting health affects of the searchers, including the dogs that helped with the search. I also did not realize the fathers and retirees that had such a grim task of searching for their sons. The trip to your museum was at the request of my 15 year old step-son and you made it a worthwhile journey for us all. Thank you Mr. Suson, for bringing these images to us all, thank you for helping give closure to those who need it and enlightenment to those who did not know. |

| Our family from the Toronto area (2 boys ages 10 and 14 plus parents) spent a week in New York visiting several attractions in the city. When we were flying home we reviewed our trip. It was mutually agreed by all that this was by far the most worthwhile experience. Personally, I have been to New York numerous times over the years but this was my 1st time post 9-11. Your exhibit captured the overall tone, I felt, of how the city has changed. It is more subdued, very deeply effected by 9-11, a city with the wind knocked out of it, and one that is trying to make sense of it all. I feel a great deal more safe in New York now, the people are much easier to approach, helpful and I sensed a enlightened spirituality. The 1st thing I did when i got home was read the passage from the book of Genesis which was found among the rubble, the miracle among the ashes. Thank You for helping raise my understanding of humanity. Cathy Munn |

| Our museum tour was great. The two girls who were in charge of the presentation were excellent. Our group had about 12 people in all, and the museum is a small intimate setting, unlike the crowded, noisy visitor center next to ground zero. You were able to really get a sense of 9/11 in a personal way. We then took a cab ride to ground zero and went to St. Paul's church which was referenced at the museum. I would highly recommend going to the Ground Zero museum. |

| When we entered to begin our tour of this museum, we were fortunate to discover that Gary Suson was present. He gave us an introduction to his museum and also gave an insight into the conditions he witnessed during the recovery at Ground Zero.
The museum is a collection of stunning photo's taken by Gary Suson and a selection of artefacts recovered from Ground Zero. Each of the exhibits has a corresponding number, which is keyed into the supplied audio handset and headphones to give a narrative description. The museum is very well laid out and it takes almost the full duration of the allotted time to view all of the items and listen to the audio descriptions. Each of the exhibits is sensitively displayed and captures the reality and humanity of what took place at Ground Zero. The museum is a respectful reminder that we should never forget the events of 9/11 or the countless number of people affected by this tragedy.
We briefly met Gary Suson again as we left the museum and we would like to thank him and his staff for having the vision to bring about the Ground Zero Museum Workshop. This museum is a "Must See" on any New York itinery. |
