| Much has been written about September 11th. We've all read the accounts of what occured that day and we've seen pictures that have shocked us. That being said, there are stories (and images) within the story of September 11th, things that were not reported/seen in any media formats. Why? Because the media was not allowed on-site access to the World Trade Center site. However, that changed in November 2001 when Gary Marlon Suson, a New York photographer, was gained unlimited access to the site. He soon gained the trust of the police and firefighters who were involved in the cleanup/recovery. Suson's museum includes many artifacts that he was allowed to remove from the actual site. You can even hold an actual piece of World Trade Center steel, which has been shaped into a cross. The images really convey a powerful message. They show frustration, exaustion, and sadness. Every artifact and image is presented with the utmost respect and dignity. These are the accounts of a man who was there, day in and day out, right alongside the firefighters as they searched for their fallen brothers. A visit to the Ground Zero Museum Workshop will allow you to become more informed about September 11th and it's aftermath. Even more importantly, the images will provide a window to the soul of many recovery workers who gave all they had for nine months, helping to heal a strong yet bruised nation. |

| A truly unique and very intimate experience, the Workshop is like nothing else you will see connected to 9/11. I was at first apprehensive that the very small space containing the Workshop would lead to disappointment, but in the end I was glad as each of the photographs and exhibits impacts such an emotional punch that even the 2-hour visit wasn't enough to do it all justice. Viewing 9/11 from the perspective of the recovery effort is humbling in a way I can't begin to describe, and my visit to the Workshop is something that will stay with me for a long time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Workshop to others and will certainly return during my next visit to NYC. |

| I was quite surprised at the size (smaller than anticipated), but everything was well put together and organized. I wthink it was well worth the time and money to visit the 911 musuem. |

| The best event that I have ever attended regarding the tragedy of 9/11. The perspective of the tragedy was presented in a way that I have not experienced previously. The artifacts were very unique and the stories that accompanied the pictures and artifacts was very moving. Having those who experienced the event first hand lead the workshop really enhanced the experience. They really shared from the heart and were passionate about their message and the cause they support. It was also unique and special to be able to touch the artifacts.
I will come back when I return to New York and will encourage others I know to attend the event. It would be nice if this experience could be taken on a road show across the country, especially to schools. My hat is off to Gary and the firefighters who participate in this extraordinary and unique experience.
Thank-you,

| It was an amazing and moving experience. I really think that all tourists travelling to New York should visit this museum. To be up close and personal with these artifacts and the photos was a truely special experience. To also have the opportunity to speak to a fire fighter that was there on the day of Sept 11 was something that I will never forget. |

| With Gary's first hand account of scenes from the site, you can't help but engage with his feelings and emotion.
Totally gripping and a must see whilst in The Big Apple.
Be prepared to shed a tear or two!

| it would be better if the museum is located near the ground zero itself. i find the workshop tour not to be well attended, so there is little interaction and can be boring. |
