| Fascinating and emotional insight into recent history presented in a very professional style which does justice to everyone who worked so hard during those difficult months. There are loads of photographs accomapnied by an audio / visual presentation and many other artifacts. Don't confuse this museum with the one that is located 'on site'- said to also contain personal items recovered from the wreckage. (we didn't visit that museum as we didn't think the idea of putting such items on public show was in good taste). You won't be disappointed with the former museum though - HIGHLY recommended...JG/SG (UK) |

| While the location is not ideal, the information presented in this museum is information the public would otherwise have not known. The official photographer happened to be giving the tour the day we were there and autographed some things for us. I would recommend to go to the museum tour before Ground Zero to truly appreciate what happened that day that America will never forget.

| I would definitely recommend making this one of your stops while in NYC. Very powerful, not very expensive or time consuming, and definitely will make you see things you hadn't seen before with regards to this tragedy. |

| We found this a very moving and profound experience and one that we have highly recommended to our friends and family. The human side of 9/11 has been captured in a very sensitive and detailed way. This is the side we didn't always see in the news, but it was a side that is important to understand. For such a small little museum, you had a huge impact. |

| Pictures are, they say, worth a thousand words. Particularly in this case. The pictures taken by Gary Suson and exhibited in this small museum are a way to get a better understanding of the human elements of 9/11 - both the tragedies and the successes and hopes. The pictures and the fascinating commentaries do the job tremendously well, and in an honest and moving way tell the story of the rescue and forensic efforts. I visited the museum and then visited the site itself, which is the best way to do this I would suggest. Thoroughly recommended. |

| Not ever having seen the "Twin Towers" live and now that GZ is basically a construction sight, we were looking for a tour that would let us see the real ground zero following the days after the terror attacks. This museum did that for us. While the museum is only in a small 1 room studio, it has a powerful presence about it. A presence where you can get an understanding of the event and the days following. This is not a museum about the attacks themselves, but it is about the days and months following. Pictures of family and firefighter brethren searching for friends and love ones. Each picture and artifact display has a story behind it and that story is relayed to you by the artist who took the pictures. There are 100 of these stories. The museum tells the story, not of the deceased but of the living who worked so hard to find those who parrished. A picture of a father helping to carry his deceased fire fighter son from the sight. A clock that stopped at the exact timeof the collapse. Crosses cut from steal beams to give to the families of the deceased are just a few of the items you will see and touch. For anyone looking for some type of closer from this horrendous attack, we highly recommend a visit to the GZ Museum. |

| Incredibly sensitive and personal tour of what occurred during the recovery operation at Ground Zero. Tastefully presenting an insider's view of what it was like to be in "The Pit" during what was an emotional task of enormous proportion. The intimate setting of the Museum Workshop adds to its success in connecting the patron to the events. You walk away with a real sense of connection to what these brave men and women went through and were able to accomplish for their fallen brothers and sisters. It literally brought tears to my eyes on a number of occasions. The remarkable thing is that it was not a depressing experience, but rather further depended my respect for the tireless efforts of the rescue and recovery workers. It is truly a must see for anyone with interest in this dark chapter of American History. Go to the museum, then go to Ground Zero to get the full picture of the magnitude of the task faced by these heroes. It was an honor to bear witness to their accomplishment. Thank you for this opportunity. |

| It is important that we never forget the victims and events of 9/11. This tastefully done presentation is both deeply moving and thought-provoking All people should visit this museum. Never forget. |

| The museum is in one small room and provides a very intimate experience of the recovery efforts of 9/11, a subtle powerful event that is not covered in the media. It is a quite unique museum compared to others in the city. |
