| Having never lived in the US, 9/11 was an event that changed the world, sure, but not my world. My immediate world remained unaffected from the events of 9/11, of course it was affected but not in a way that was noticeable. Through the Ground Zero Museum, its stories and pictures I came to realize on a more personal level the lives that had been affected through this catastrophe. |

| I met the owner in Florida and read his book while I was there, which made me cry so much but I had to visit the museum. It really puts you in touch with what happened that day and the horror of it all. You can get an even better understanding of what actually went on. The museum is done so well and keeps in mind the feelings of the survivors. Ex: a piece of the plane is on display, but in honor of the survivors feelings about it, they ask that you not take pictures of this one piece. I took a lot of pictures in the museum, but not that piece of course. I want to share them with a lot of friends and then when I know they are going to NY, I will recommend they go and visit this awesome museum. I would recommend it to everyone. GREAT job Gary!

| The experience was really worth it. I am not a new yorker and I did not have any relative affected by the attacks of 9/11 and yet, I felt really connected to the tragedy.
I think this visit is a chance to grow as a person.
You should go by all means.
Not recommended for children at all. |

| 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! |

| The workshop is amazing and I have recommended it to everyone that I have spoken to.
It was incredible to see such intimate photos of this horrific time in our history. To think that fellow humans could have orchestrated this whole terrorist act is mind-numbing. Seeing the photos and listening to the audio reminded me of when I woke up to the radio while in New Zealand, hearing that this tragedy had occurred and feeling so helpless and grief-stricken for the victims - their final minutes, and the lifetime of grief of those that were left behind.
However, I felt like I gained a greater perspective of the lives that were touched so chillingly during that time. Attending this workshop has made me so grateful to be alive, but so humbled that so many people lost their lives, or have the memories of such terror imprinted into their souls.
Thank you so much for having this resource - I can see how people would gain great solace and closure from such a place. |
