| When you walk into this museum the first thing you notice is the size. It is a very small room. This must not put you off, as described by its staff, it is the biggest little museum.
Gary's photgraphs and the items that he salvaged from Ground Zero really reflect the bravery and spirit that was present all the way through the search for survivors.
My husband and I found the visit to the museum to be moving and an experience that we will never forget. We would reccomend this to anyone. |

| Hadn't heard too much about this museum except for what was on their website. I am very glad we decided to go. This is a must for anyone interested in 9/11 and should be done if you have any interest in seeing Ground Zero. It is a very small, intimate museum, which at first is a surprise when you walk in. However, it is very well done, and you appreciate the intimacy as you experience it. The videos in the begininng are very well done and the recordings of the different items are excellent. We went with our two kids ages 11 and 14. We spent about a 1 hr. and 15 minutes there. The 3 young ladies who were docents also did an excellent job. |

| Though small, this museum had an intensive display of photos and items recovered from Ground Zero with audio stories of each display. Very tasteful account of what happened on 9/11/2001 that literally took you back in time to that horrific day New Yorkers endured. I was able to buy a beautiful book by Gary Suson who was the appointed photographer of this horrific event. I will treasure this book as an important part of American history that affected the entire world. The young tour guide did an awesome job of respectfully narrating the contents of this modest museum and, out of respect for this nation, ALL Americans visiting NYC should visit this Ground Zero Museum. I was there - my room overlooked Ground Zero...part of me felt self-loathing for looking down into it, yet I could not stop. God bless Gary Suson, the citizens of this awesome city, and God bless all of us. THANK YOU. |

| Although I was, at first, underwhelmed by the size and appearance of the museum, I found it to be a very worthwhile visit. The video presentation and the many objects in the museum told the story of the 911 attack in a powerful, personal manner. I would recommend the visit very highly to anyone who is interested in understanding the personal effect 911 had on so many people. |

Moving Tribute to both victims & recovery workers

| Upon entering the workshop's space, you think "this is really small, how am I going to spend 90 minutes here?" This thought soon dissipates as you realize you are in a small space which encompasses the enormous heartbreak of the 2,700 plus victims' families. You further realize that their pain is compounded by the sorrow seen in the faces of the FDNY recovery workers. This is an intimate place for you to see, hear, touch and feel a fraction of the profound agony thru Gary Suson's magnificent photographs and interactive workshop. The space which the Ground Zero Museum Workshop occupies is similar to a human heart, small in size, but rich in the love, sadness, loss, tears and memories that it holds on to. May none of us ever forget 9/11, the victims, their families and all of the brave recovery workers. |

| I learned a lot about that day (Sept 11th) that the news did not cover. It was worth my time. I didn't feel rushed to leave and I was able to go through the museum at my own pace. I would recommend it for anyone of any age.
Thank you. |

| My family and I found this museum/exhibit to be profoundly moving, thought provoking and insightful in ways that are very difficult to put into words. My 10 year old niece was with us at this museum. Her reaction to this museum was so thrilling to see. She was captivated the entire time. When it was over she said to me, "I wish everyone in the world could come here. I had no idea about 9/11 until now." She was only 6 when it happened and this was such an intense learning experience for her. My husband, my mother-in-law and I were also all deeply moved and grateful to have the opportunity to learn so much more and through such eloquent photography and narration. I highly doubt there will ever come a time in my life when any museum will surpass what this one has meant to me. |
