| Keep in mind that it is a small museum. Very very small. One room actually. Initial shock and concern. Once you can get past that concept and open your mind and soul to all that is to be seen and heard.........you won't be disappointed. I took my two children (11 yrs and 9 yrs) and even they enjoyed it. You can buy memorabalia personally signed by the official Ground Zero photographer himself. It touches your heart and teaches history. Many items in the museum you can touch and hold.
I would love to see an expansion for the museum to a few rooms.....a video room, an artifact/photo room, and a memory shop. However, I highly reccommend this tour to any one visting New York looking to participate in history.

| To be able to hear and see the stories of the ground zero workers makes the event all the more real to me as an outsider from Texas. Two hours really isn't enough time to get through it all in this tiny space - but it is well worth it. |

| The Ground Zero Workshop was very moving. It brings back the emotions of 911. The groups that tour the exhibits is small and that make it more enjoyable. I would highly recomend The Ground Zero workshop tour to any Firefighter like myself but also for any American and non-American visiting New York City....Never Forget! |

| Went to both museums.
The first one was about the day.
Your's was about healing and the eyewitness words of the photographer were heart felt.
The people who ran it were warm and engaging.

| Being from Canada it was one thing to see what happened on Sept 11th on the TV but being in the museum made it so much more personal. The information provided was in great taste, very respectful of everyone involved in Sept 11th and very moving. I would suggest any visitors to NYC to put this museum on the top of their list of things to do.
Definitely a must see!! |

| An amazing collection that speaks most from its silence. The pictures capture an event in the most moving way I could imagine. The artifacts, often haunting, are never distasteful. The prersenter for the introduction was filled with compassion for the event he spoke of and for the museum he represented. One can not imagine all that is contained in a 1,000 square foot room. Two hours vanished in both my tears and awe. A tribute done with love.

| I had no idea what to expect. My sister and I didn't know how a one room museum could last two hours. We were very surprised how quickly time flew by and how we could have stayed longer if we were allowed. The tour was done with such dignity. The museum felt like home--warm and inviting, yet clean and tidy with a modern decor. We appreciated the quiet, somber atmosphere. We learned so much from each picture and artifact. Each description was just enough information to move us and inform us. More museums should model after this one. We were so glad we went and will be recommending it to all our friends. |

| The Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour was an incredible experience. Even though it was in a small location all the artifacts and pictures were breathe taking. Sometimes the tour got intense and emotions started to run high, but it was a positive experience full of information and one that I will never forget. |

| wonderful set up in nice small area with small group, we loved that we could move around alone and review alone, the hosts were both very professional and friendly, we all felt as if it was too much to take in all the information and hence we did miss a few stations... however having said that i would not take anything out of the workshop.
thank you for this courageous and sobering presentation. we have brought the book home and have already reviewed |
