| Whilst this tiny museum houses many moving and beautiful photos, it serves more as an exhibition of the work of the photographer rather than a comprehensive story of the events of 9/11. |

A must see

| This exhibit was SO well done and the PERFECT combination of sensitivity to the heartache of that day and the days that follow and tribute to those who served that day and the days after. The intimacy of the venue and the small group setting made for a wonderful tribute to our country's spirit and resiliance. |

| My husband and I had visited NY 14 years ago and had been fortunate enough to go up the twin towers, so on our recent trip to NY we decided to visit the workshop and were not disappointed.
From the minute you are met outside to the moment you leave, it is a very moving experience. Although only held in a small room, the impact was great; the pictures and artifacts were fascinating. You are given a walkie - talkie with headphones and this gives information about each picture or item you wish to hear about by pressing a number on the handset.
Gary arrived while we were there and had a chat to us - you cannot imagine what he must have seen.
I would thoroughly recommend this on your trip to New York. |

| If you don't do anything else in NYC, do this! It is perhaps more important than visiting the Ground Zero site itself. It is probably the most emotional experience I have ever had. When you first go in, you see that there is only one room and you think "this doesn't look that imposing"........ I could have spent hours there. The pictures, the stories, the artifacts--it is the closest you can get to the actual experience of having been there during the recovery. Truly, words cannot adequately describe this experience. |

| The "museum" is more like a gallery, with the official photographer's best photos in the year after 9/11/01. There are only a few artifacts, and a few special ones. |

| Found this collection of photos fascinating and informative and the story that was given by headphones for each picture was extremely moving and I will admit I felt very chocked at times, however, I felt that the room that the exhibition was in was very small and I felt slightly claustraphobic after about 1 1/2 hours. It was fascinating to see remnants on show from that historic day but to be honest when I heard about the other tribute centre based at the Groubd Zero site on which you were taken on a walking tour of the site with a guided tour given by someone who was actually involved on the day sounded far more informative and i really wish I had done that tour instead. However, it was worth doing but did find it rather expensive and the books etc. on sale were very expensive. It certainly made you think though of how awful that day was and how the streets were full of panic and the bravery that people from all walks of life showed that day. |

| We were very pleased not to find a huge, commercialized venture exploiting victims and rescuers. The kleenex boxes provided were well used. |

| Great - uplifting. And we were lucky enough that the man who was responsible for the Museum was there so we were able to speak to him first hand and have him answer any questions. |

| At first we thought the museum was quiet small and weren't sure what to expect, but each picture and each artifact had its own story-we were the last one's to leave! We gathered so much information from our short time there-learned much more about what many people went through, especiallty the firefighters. We know people who volunteered and we watched countless hours of television, this musuem gave us a different perspective. Good for those who want to heal and those that want to remember to never take things for granted. |
