| A great review of the actual occurrence and the events involving the immediate and extended recovery attempts. Albeit reviewed many time over for days, weeks, and months, it was refreshing to have it rekindled in our minds so that we will "Never Forget". Whatever the reason, innocent people should not perish here or any where. |

| The exhibit was very good. I particularly liked having the hand-held device which gave you information on all the numbered objects.
It was nice to personally meet the author of the pictures and book.
There also was a fireman who was at Ground Zero on Sept 11th. After everyone had left the exhibit, I had a chance to speak with him one on one. That made it more personal for me and I couldn't have been more pleased with the overall exhibit. |

| From two days after 9/11/01 to every year since, I have visited and photographed Ground Zero. I thought I knew and felt everything about that fateful day until my visit to the Ground Zero Museum. I had recently visited the Tribute Center, where I was moved and more enlightened than I had been before. My visit to the Ground Zero Museum was beyond anything I had experienced, known, or felt. It was an intimate and amazing display and narration of the rescue effort and all those connected to it. I was lucky enough to have Gary Marlon Suson, in person, who photographed the rescue effort for nine months, guide us through his unique and emotional journey, punctuating his visuals with his stories and artifacts. To be able to touch and hold these artifacts formed an intense and emotional connection to the recovery effort, the rescuers, and all the victims and their families. From the crosses cut out of the mangled, steel beams to the electric clock that stopped at 10:02 and 14 seconds (the exact time the South Tower fell) , was an out-of-body connection that cannot be described in words. You really have to be there. This exhibit is a "MUST" for every human being as an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual connector to humanity's good that rises from the bad.
My female (age 50-59) companion's review is as follows:
Ground Zero Museum Workshop is Inspirational
I found this experience to be truly worthwhile. As a resident of New York, needless to say, the events of 9/11 will stay with me forever. I continue to visit Ground Zero, as I am still coming to grips with what happened on that horrible day. I had no idea that Gary Marlon Suson had been asked to photograph the recovery effort until I heard about this museum. To be able to meet him and have him share his experiences with our group is something I will always remember. His photographs and artifacts are amazing, and his story needs to be told. I would highly recommend this workshop tour to everyone. I enthusiastically have been spreading the word. |

| I can't say when I've been so touched as I was last week at this memorial of Ground Zero. The artifacts and photos were so moving, as was the film shown. Thank you, Gary for this wonderful tribute. |

| I am glad I saw this exhibit. It was worthwhile, since it made the tragedy more real for those who live farther away, and reminded us of the immensity of what happened there. |

| I am a retired fire officer who served 20 years with the FDNY. The events of 9-11 touched me very deeply. I lost 343 fellow firefighters that hatefull day. I thought i was over the emotion of such a loss, but the museum presentation brought it all back like it was yesterday. I actually broke down during the initial video presentation, and Gary was very sympathetic to my display of emotions. He allowed me as much time as I needed to compose myself. Gary Suson has done a remarkable job in both, the research and the presentation of the events following 9-11. He spent numerous hours at the site and in the hole. His displays clearly reflect that effort. I highly recommend this exhibit to anyone and everyone. But, if you have any attachment to the events of 9-11, be prepared to become emotional.
Thank you

| I would definitely recommend the Ground Zero Museum Workshop tour as part of your visit to NYC. This is a unique experience in an intimate setting that brings you closer to the aftermath of the World Trade Center terrorist attack than any other place I've visited. Though its contained in a small room, I spent 2 hours listening to the stories behind the photographs and various objects recovered from the site. Spectacular! |
