| Whilst a visit to NY should consist of glamour, sky scrapers and Broadway..... you mustn't forget to pay your respects to a huge part of Manhattan's recent history and visit Ground Zero.
To find out a little more about the events and aftermath of 9.11- The Ground Zero Museum Workshop really is a MUST. Fantastic photographs and artefacts from this momentous event help tell the story in a tasteful, respectful and enlightening way.
BEWARE!
Please read the small print on your ticket - this workshop IS NOT near the Ground Zero site itself (something we ommitted to read until the last minute!). |

| The tasteful and sensitive manner in which Gary and his team describe and deal with the aftermath of 911 at Ground Zero is very moving. Even our young children (7 & 9) were so completely captivated by the photographs and artifacts and the stories behind them. One of the most moving experiences I have had. It captures it all! |

| A well organised and appropriate way of honouring those who died in 9/11. It was suitable for our 4 children ages 6 to 16 years |

| My wife and I have just returned from a 5 day trip to New York, in which we tried to do everything! Left the hotel after breakfast every day and stayed out 'til late every night, taking in nearly every main tourist attraction going. The Ground Zero Museum is an absolute must for those visiting NY, very emotional as you would expect but done for the right reasons and in the best taste - all proceeds go towards charities associated with 9/11. It needs to be booked in advance but I can recommend it so much if you get the opportunity to go - you will be amazed by what is there. The museum is based in one room, which may sound bizarre but you will comfortbaly spend 2 hours in this room and still be intrigued by its contents and photos. The founder of the museum was the offical photographer for the FDNY and he was actually there to answer questions as well, it was a truly fascinating experience not to be missed if you're in the Big Apple. |

| The museum was exceptional. Very moving, emotional, and professionaly done. The audio description of each article in the exhibit was very well done and added more depth to the experience. |

| We were in New York for 6 days and this was the best experience that we had.
A small museum but extremely interesting.The whole concept was well organised and sensitively done.We were there as a family and my husband and 13 year old daughter felt the same way.The guides were knowledgeable and helpful and what made it even more special was the fact that Gary Suson, the photographer was there too!
A definite must if you are visiting New York. |

| An enormous amount of material is packed into this tiny museum and it is extremely well managed and presented. I did, however, find myself extremely irritated by the constant reference to the photographer and owner of the museum.
The photographs and artifacts were excellent and a chilling reminder, but it would have been a thousand times more powerful if Gary Marlon Suson had been a more silent narrator, instead of an ever-present star. An independent blue pencil through the script would probably help a lot. |

A Truly amazing tour!

| An unbeliveable opportunity to share in the work of Gary Suson - one can never begin to imagine the feelings and thoughts he must have went through during his work at ground zero. Made even more special by the compassion shown by the tour guides. Don't visit New York without a visit to the Ground Zero museum. |

| The discussion of the event was provided by the photographer himself the day I was there, the video and display were very very well done. The pictures were so moving . It was quite evident how much the photographer himself had been affected by his experience of the horror that he saw,and the time he spent taking pictures at Ground Zero.
Frankly this little museum needs to be moved to a larger space to do it better justice. And I bet more pictures would be on display of this horrible event if there were more room. it was really a touching experience!
