| We didn't know what we expected to find, but we found a reverend museum of expression for what occurred on 9/11. Talking to the photographer added a layer of more emotion we weren't expecting. To go here first and then to go to Ground Zero made the day emtionally draining, but definitely special. I think it is a very special museum. Thank you so much for offering it. |

| It was informative to here the narratives behind the photos. Mr. Marlon was there and was very gracious to the attendees of the tour.
My only input would be that I wish there was more to view. |

| This is literally a small hole in the wall museum. A few artifacts and many pictures not usually seen ...this was an eclectic experience. Official photographer for NYFD was on hand to give a preliminary talk and answer questions. I found some of it really amazing. It was a positive experience about the good that comes out of tragedy...not focusing on the tragedy itself. The crosses and Star of Davids made out of the fallen steel beams given out to about 1000 of the affected families was such a beautiful gesture and something I would not have known about had I not visited. There was the clock found by the photographer where time literally stood still....the last picture of the last subway train just before the ceiling came tumbling down. You are provided with head phones to get the various stories on both the photos and artifacts. Book was on hand completely done by the photographer (don't have his name handy) and some cards. Percentage of profits are given to NYFD. Friend who came with me was also touched by it. Don't forget, on your way out, to pick up prayers of every religion for peace (free) by the door. Summary: Small but worthwhile. |

| Avoids the rampant political, xenophobic and rhetorical nonsense that is sadly attached to this event. Fantastic.
Also, he's the only reason that you'll ever see photos of this effort, and it shaved years off his life, so go thank him and show some RESPECT, ya? |

| It's a rare thing to have such individual guidence in a museum. The space is small and therefore you are able to really begin to process the magnitude of 9/11.
It's a very special and unique experience compared to larger museums and gives a feeling of what that day must have been like for people who were actually in NY as oppossed to what people saw through the media watching from around the world. |

| I was amazed at the level of effort that has gone into this Museum. It tells stories that we would otherwise be unaware of. This Museum is a must to see, as it captures the physical effort and the emotional effect on everyone that was involved in the 9/11 tragedy. I found it to be a very powerful and yet uplifting experience. |

| I am an Australian firefighter touring the States in Sep 2007. I came across the museum while researching Ground Zero on the internet. It was one of the highlights of my trip.
I would recommend a visit to all. It is displayed in a very tasteful manner and in a very relaxed environment, plenty of time to take it all in. So many interesting pieces and the fact that most of them can be handled added to the visit . It is difficult to put my experience into words. All i can say is if you are considering a visit DO IT !!
You won't get to see this display anywhere else in the world. |

| Was not senstionalized, yet very sensitive & thought provoking. Helped realize what the recovery workers went through--although you could never realize the full intensity unless you were actually there.
Thought the project was done with a great deal of dignity & respect for all involved. |

| 6 years after that horible tragedy I'm still very emotionnal when I talked about , read about or see things about it. I was really move by all the artifacts and the pictures. Even if I am a foreign language speakin person, I was able to do the tour with headphones and explanations in my own language and it was really welll traduce. I think the tour can be done in 4 other languages than english.
Even if Mr Suson was not there for that tour, the 2 young gentlemen who assists us were very helpful and were able to answer all the questions I direct to them.
I start promoting this tour to every friend who will go to New-York and be sure I WILL NEVER FORGET |

| The museum is a great place to pay your respects to the departed. You will learn a lot about Ground Zero, the heroism that took place on 911 and afterwards. The stories the pictures tell will take your breath away. It is very emotional. I greatly appreciated having the opportunity to finally pay my respects to all those that died none of which I knew, but their tragic death changed my life as it did for so many. |
