| I found out about this workshop by searching the internet. I'm from Vancouver BC and remember waking up September 11th after most of the events had already taken place (due to the time zone and my sleeping in). It was extremely emotional to see the footage and actual artifacts from that day. I thought it was very tastefully put together and they definitely keep the best interests of the families effected at heart. I have already recommended the workshop to a friend travelling to New York in August. |

| The museum workshop gave me a personal insight into many people affected by 9 / 11.
It was an emotional rollercoaster that left me realising and appreciating just how short life is, yet at the same time I now have even more admiration for the men and women that worked on site during the recovery, and then of course there is the people of New York who are determined to get on with life and prove that no act of terrorism will stop life from going on. |

| I was fortunate enough to attend on a day that Gary was present himself, and it was fascinating to speak with him and hear first-hand about his experiences in the recovery effort at Ground Zero. His story is heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. I learned so much from my two hours here about the aftermath of 911, and the incredible efforts made by the recovery workers. It was truly inspiring to hear the stories of these people and to understand first-hand what happened in the months following 9-11. I moved beyond words by some of the photographs taken by Gary during those months and being able to see some of the artifacts was amazing. I highly recommend attending this workshop to gain a real understanding of the recovery efforts. The venue is small and intimate and unlike any other museum I have ever been in. This gives the participant a real sense of being in the midst of the recovery scene and provides a hands-on look at what is required to come out the other side of such a tragic event. I was mesmerized by the stories of these workers at Ground Zero. |

| This small initimate museum portrays sensitively the events of 9/11. The self guided audio head sets allow you to take in what you want from the displayed photographs around the room, order is not important. It is the overall experience that counts. Although sad it is an important collection with a message to the viewer that we should never forget the day that the world lost its innocence.
It was a bonus to meet the photographer on the day we attended. |

| This is a rather obscure little mesuem that should be on every tourist's map who visited New York. It is not found on the NY pass or NYC city pass but those who found this tour will be greatly reward with an insightful look into the recovery work at ground zero. It was rather emotional tour and many participants weeped just minutes into the presenatation. If you value freedom & humanity, this tour is an absolute must. |

| The Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour is something every American should make time to see when visiting NYC. Photographer Gary Suson has done a remarkable job of documenting the post 9-11Recovery Process. His amazing photographs tell the touching and courageous stories of the many who gave months of their lives (including Mr. Suson) working at the post 9-11 Ground Zero site. A must see! Historically, it's every bit as important (if not more important) than a visit to Ellis Island & the Statue of Liberty. This is a 5-star exhibit you will never regret viewing. |

| A wonderful tribute to the victims and heroes of 9/11. I appreciated the fact that the musuem did not focus on the sensationalism of the terrorist attacks - no footage of the planes crashing in to the towers will be found. The focus was solely on the heroic rescue efforts and after-math of the event of 9/11. The personal stories behind each photograph and artifact truly bring the events to life and enable visitors to connect on a deeper level with what happened. |
