| I found the Ground Zero Workshop Museum on the web by chance whilst Googling for things to do on our recent first visit to NYC, DC and Williamsburg. Our visit was without doubt the highlight of the whole trip. Stark, vivid and emotional images captured by the artist's camera are brought to life by the informative guides and the excellent self guided audio tour. The latter in particular was impressive, with the artist's voiceover complimented by soundtracks taken from that fateful day and shortly afterwards.
The most vivid of many memories I took away were the emotion of images portraying the retired cops & firefighters looking for thier missing sons and the seeming official indifference to the financial plight of the firefighter who contracted throat cancer from breathing in toxic fumes and the attitude of the insurers who prevented access to the Deutsche Bank building for four years!! |

| Ground zero museum workshops brings the horror and aftermath of 9/11 to life as it was seen by firefighters and workers on the scene. It was one of the most touching things I have ever experienced. To see the artifacts and the faces of the workers as what happened was being unfolded was life changing. |

| This was a very emotional experience. The small scale and the personal interaction of the museum serves the viewer very well. It is as close to being "there" as I would ever want to be. |

| Extremely well done. My 14-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter were rivetted by it. |

| The guides were exceptional. Honored to have met Gary. I came with my grandson and I could see how he was touched by the photographs and items on display. He touched them with great reverance. It was an experience done in perfect taste and respect for the fallen. |

| It was just an "o.k." exhibit, not as good as what I had expected from reading previous reviews. There was much repetition from the video, handout, guide comments and the actual exhibit. |
