| The event was one that we never should forget. Through the museum, you get a little closer to some of the rescue workers lost as well as the rescuers after the tragedy. We found ourselves trying to listen to every explanation of every picture or artifact but we ran out of time and missed about the last 25 - we would have liked another 30 minutes. We felt the experience was meaningful and we hope that it continues to be available for visit. |

| This museum was a place where you truly felt connected to 9/11. Well worth the trip. We liked how personal the experience was. Definitely an emotional journey but one that we'd definitely recommend. |

| We had the privlidge of having Mr. Gary Suson lead our tour. The museum is well thought out and a tribute to all of those who lost their lives on 9/11. We will definately visit the museum again when we are in NYC. Thank you Mr. Suson for taking the time to lead our tour. |

| The advertisements read right when it says that this workshop is the "Biggest Little Museum" in New York City. I liked how it focused on the recovery efforts and it is hard to leave this place without being touched and having a mark left on your heart. The personal, intimate stories were very touching! My favorite part about the entire experience was that the museum was in a smaller, more intimate space. It had the atmosphere of a cozy living room, which made it feel more at home and comfortable. I also enjoyed being able to physically see some of the artifacts from the tragedy! |

| From two days after 9/11/01 to every year since, I have visited and photographed Ground Zero. I thought I knew and felt everything about that fateful day until my visit to the Ground Zero Museum. I had recently visited the Tribute Center, where I was moved and more enlightened than I had been before. My visit to the Ground Zero Museum was beyond anything I had experienced, known, or felt. It was an intimate and amazing display and narration of the rescue effort and all those connected to it. I was lucky enough to have Gary Marlon Suson, in person, who photographed the rescue effort for nine months, guide us through his unique and emotional journey, punctuating his visuals with his stories and artifacts. To be able to touch and hold these artifacts formed an intense and emotional connection to the recovery effort, the rescuers, and all the victims and their families. From the crosses cut out of the mangled, steel beams to the electric clock that stopped at 10:02 and 14 seconds (the exact time the South Tower fell) , was an out-of-body connection that cannot be described in words. You really have to be there. This exhibit is a "MUST" for every human being as an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual connector to humanity's good that rises from the bad.
My female (age 50-59) companion's review is as follows:
Ground Zero Museum Workshop is Inspirational
I found this experience to be truly worthwhile. As a resident of New York, needless to say, the events of 9/11 will stay with me forever. I continue to visit Ground Zero, as I am still coming to grips with what happened on that horrible day. I had no idea that Gary Marlon Suson had been asked to photograph the recovery effort until I heard about this museum. To be able to meet him and have him share his experiences with our group is something I will always remember. His photographs and artifacts are amazing, and his story needs to be told. I would highly recommend this workshop tour to everyone. I enthusiastically have been spreading the word. |

| I bought the tickets by mail. I was very dissapointed when I arrive to the museum and find out that I paid twice more than the normal rate. I didnīt argue there because the environment of the museum makes you feel very touched, but the point is that prices shall be the same everywhere.
By the other hand, I donīt know what characteristics a place must have to be named "Museum" but I think this is just an exhibition of pictures and objects compiled by one brave man. |

| My husband is a Houston Firefighter and we visited on Oct.12th 2007. He was unable to talk to Gary from the lump in his throat although my conversation with him was priceless. The whole tour left a hard impression on me that I won't forget. I am gratefull for the opportunity to be even closer to the facts and the reality of the loss suffered. We were honored to be able to give some money to the museum and to go home with Gary"s book. I now have specific images in my mind as I prayfor these firefighters and families. |
