| At first I was surprised, it wasn't what I expected. However, in the end it was well worth it. The audio was great. It gives a more positive and personal look at 9/11. My onlyl concern was that there were so many interesting items but I was worn out after about 40 of them. |

| The museum is very small and has some very moving pictures. However, there were 5-6 stories that were emphasized and repeated from the video, the tour guide and the audio guide. Probably could have taken just an hour.
My largest complaint is that it focused ONLY on the firemen, not on the other service personnel who lost their lives. Also, when Gary Suson talked on the audio guide of the pictures he took, he was a bit self congratulatory (irksome), like "I only had 60 seconds to take this photo). Who cares! It screamed of look how great of a photographer i am. Yes, he is, but that's not the purpose of the museum. Really detracted from our experience. |

| Although we love to have plenty of fun on holidays a visit to the Ground Zero Museum Workshop is a must. It is quiet small but the experience is enormous. Here you really do begin to understand the true impact of 9/11 and the resilience of the survivors. It touched us all and the museum workshop shows a more personal side to the tragedy in a tasteful, informative and factual manner. Well done to Garry and the staff. |

| A very impressive, hard and beautifull tour. We all saw the the planes flying into the twin towers, the movies, but what happened afterward, what you showed (in a very respectful, not dramatic way) in the tour means understanding what the people involves had to go through.
I'm glad we had the change to see all that. It's a part of NYC, which need to be told.

Picture gallery, not museum workshop

| The place is a great little space, very intimate, which is the effect wanted by the owner, but at times it felt more like a gallery of his work, than a true museum of 9/11. The pictures are great, but it's the commentary attached to some of the photos which seem a bit incongruous at times. There's a great picture with the Americaln flag, but the talkover concentrates on how he got the picture 'just right', instead of the meaning of the photo. Maybe some pictures don't need dialogue attached to them. As a whole though, it's an interesting place to visit and it did give me more of an insight into the events surrounding that dreadful day. |

| The museum was very small, limited to only 25 people at a time. We met at a location in the Meat-packing District, and were led to an upstairs room in an old warehouse. The museum guide was very friendly, courteous, and informative. The actual tour was conducted through a recording with headphones, narrated by the photographer whose work was featured and spent much time at the Ground Zero recovery site. It was interesting, but I felt that it would be more effective as part of a larger exhibit, rather than such an isolated event. I felt it was a bit expensive and at a rather inconvenient location. |
