| 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. |

| As an international tourist I might see things differently - not having lost any friends or relatives in the 9/11 tragedy. Still, the visit to this museum is highly recommended to people from all over the world, not only to Americans.
It is a tribute to the people who lost their lives and who searched for the victims for months. It really makes you think about this world and it tears your heart apart, when you see the pictures by fotographer Suson. He took the pictures with so much care and although the whole situation was very difficult for him, for sure, he managed to respect the dignity of the workers and victims, and still to catch so many private and special moments.
Dark tourism - the new phenomenon at Ground Zero - might imply negative aspects, but this museum is not for mere sensation seeking - it fulfills a true educational goal and makes the people remember the victims of 9/11, probably the most important thing above all.
Thank you for your work and effort in building up this wonderful museum.

If I had the chance to travel to New York with my students - I would send them to your museum. It offers an experience to young people they should not miss.
Thank you again!! |

| This exibit is well prepared and thoughtful, and really brings you close to the recovery effort at Ground Zero. There are moments of tears and laughter, but above all you come away with a great sense of the gravity of what occurred at the World Trade Center when almost 3,000 people lost their lives. It is a tribute to their memory, their families, and the dedicated men and women who worked day and night for months after the attacks to recover their fallen comrades as well as innocent civilians.
If you are in New York to learn more about 9/11, this should be your first stop. |

| 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. |

| This is a must-visit museum with beautiful stories and interesting artifacts. You can hold history in your hands. My only criticism is that it felt as though it had religious undertones to it and so if this bothers you, you might need to be able to seprate the event from this. |

| Even though I am not American you cannot come here and NOT be touched and moved by the displays at the Ground Zero Workshop Museum. It's not large, but it's very well thought out and even manages to show humorous moments as well as very sad stories to hear about. You will see photos, pieces of glass from the World Trade Center, you can even touch it! You will be given an audio guide with numbers on the items which will explain to you what they are and what they mean. Staff are available to help and answer questions. One of the highlights of my visit to New York! |
