| The museum was smaller than we'd envisioned but the narration was captivating and the photos very powerful. |

| It's Not a Ground Zero Museum. It's a Gary Susan's photo Gallery. Not what I expect. |

| Finding all the material in one room initially made one feel that it was going to be a disappointing experience. How wrong could one be! The size of the room magnifies the intensity of the museum, and having a hands-on with material from Ground Zero actually brings you closer to victims, their families and the emergency services. The photographs all have a story to tell, and being narrated by the photographer only heightens one's feelings and reactions.
It truly is unmissable. |

| This display of photographs and artifacts from the recovery of the 9-11-01 World Trade Tower attack, collapse, and ensuing disaster was powerful. Even though I was not personally related to any of the victims, I feel the assault had been an attack on all Americans and this museum reveals the tremendous act of love and respect the recovery personnel showed in performing the arduous task of recovery. After viewing the museum pieces I now feel an even greater sense of loss and question why this tragedy ever took place. This is certainly a testament to the photographer and his work. One does not get the feeling that the photographer wanted to do anything but share his view of the gruesome ordeal, both emotionally and physically, that the process took on the brave men and women who cleaned the site. I was particularly affected when I noticed a single woman's high heeled shoe, somewhat crumpled and dirty. It could have been mine. |

| I did not know what to expect when I entered the museum. Listening to the beginning video and just glancing at the items on display while it was playing made me feel like I was part of the day of 911. I couldn't help but hear the sniffles in the room and I soon found myself looking for the tissue box. I didn't know anyone personally who was killed in the attacks but after the museum tour I felt like I knew everyone.
Thank you for keeping the museum going and for explaining in such detail the courage of the men and women that day. |

| This museum is an homage to the victims and responders to the World Trade Center towers on Sep 11, 2001, and the days of rescue and recovery seen through the eyes of the artist. I recommend this museum for those who wish to also honor victims and responders. This is not a stop for curiousity seekers. The docents are respectful and helpful. |

| Everything costs more in New York, and this is no exception. If you don't mind spending $25 per person, then do go. It was just a bit heavy on the budget bringing a group of church youth and spending almost $400 for the experience. The stories behind the pictures were moving, however. I do wish I had bought a book. |
