| Having previously visited New York on a couple of occasions we were looking for something new, and were very impressed by the reviews of the Ground Zero Museum Workshop. The reviews were right; this is a very well thought out and compassionate dedication to the 9/11 victims and recovery workers. |

| Our efforts to find the Ground Zero Museum were indeed rewarded. The two hour tour of the museum was very informative and I highly recommend this to visitors to New York. The photos and artifacts gives a good feeling of what it must have been like to be part of the rescue operations - a very emotional experience as well. |

| You will find that the workshop is small in size but big in the number of artifacts and pictures. These items help to tell the stories about the people that were most affected by the 911 tragedy. It was very beneficial to experience the workshop prior to our visit to the the Ground Zero site. |

| From the street, it is impossible to conceive the impact that this small museum can make. Once inside, the story of 9/11 becomes very real, as actual artifacts and vivid haunting photos are everywhere. The museum puts you into the recovery/aftermath, and allows you to come face to face with the people and their efforts. If you are lucky enough to be there on a day when the curator is also there, the impact is even greater because the museum, in one way, is his story, too. But more importantly, the museum is a story that tells its story personally--visitors are given personal listening devices that narrate all of the displays at your own pace and in whichever order you choose; whatever captures your interest can become the focus of a minute or an hour, and no one can push you away. This is a place that honors the people who sacrificed--the firemen and police of New York City, and the victims of 9/11. It does not contain anything gory. |

| We had the pleasure of hearing Gary himself relate his experiences during our visit to the Museum. What a moving tribute to those who perished on that awful day! Would definitely recommend it to all except children. We should never forget!! |

| None of us (myself, my wife or my 7 year old and 13 year old) knew what to expect from the adventure. The space amplifies the incredible inpact that this event had on so many people. The format was well executed and informative and the presenter gave enough information to prompt curiosity. The selection of pictures and artifacts are well presented and explained and again the limited space enhances the whole experience.
Since our visit, we have recommended this museum and tour to many of our Canadian friends who are planning trips to NY in the near future,
Congratulations on not overcomercializing or glorifying any part of this disasterous event, |

| This museum is just amazing--it's not a whole building or anything like that but instead is just a loft filled with photos of ground zero, but the intimate setting of the museum is amazing! When I was there the photographer himself was present to talk to us, but the staff was very knowledgeable as well. The self-guided audio tour was filled with touching and emotional stories that cannot leave you unmoved. Highly recommended! |
