Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

For such a (very appropiate) small museum there is very much to see, hear and experience.

Es zeigt einmal mehr wie schrecklich die Zeit -gerade auch nach dem Anschlag - für die Polizisten und Rettungskräfte gewesen sein muss Beeindruckend und zu empfehlen.

We almost missed the entrance to the museum only to spot the sidewalk sign that pointed to a door to the stairway to the Ground Zero Museum. About 20 people are admitted for the 2 hour session. The room was small, somber and silent. It was filled with so many artifacts and pictures, you were immediately brought back to that horrible day of 9/11. A short movie narrated by Gary Suson, the museum's creator was shown. His description of the events he captured with his camera made me shiver. He is a genius with warmth and love for every one involved. His camera caught the expressions and futility and sadness of the hundreds who participated in the recovery phase. The pictures depicted love and camaraderie and were tastefully done, leaving the disastrous effects of bodily destruction only to your imagination. No one spoke loudly as we roamed the room observing the well identified pictures and artifacts..The self tour audio system was perfect allowing each person to go in any direction and pause for as long as you needed to digest what you were seeing. My husband and I were among the last to leave at the end of our 2 hour workshop. The book, Requiem-Image of Ground Zero, by Gary Suson is a great buy and a must for your family. gary uson

Outstanding presentation in an appropriately intimate setting. A very thorough depiction of a significant piece of our American history. A MUST see!

Somber, moving experience that takes you to the recovery efforts as they happened. Take some tissue with you, but it is most definitely worth the emotion.

I was surprised at how small the place was, and at how long I wanted to spend in the room. A fantastic museum that I would recommend everyone go and see. Very emotional.

The museum is located in a moderate sized room in a building in the meat packing district of NYC. The displays/photographs relate to the recovery phase of 9/11. The headset narrations explain each of the 100 displays. I would highly recommend visiting the museum before visiting ground zero.

I have always felt, and continue to feel, great empathy for all of those directly affected by the 9/11 event. However, I believe that there was a bit too much focus on the firefighters and a degree of redundancy in the photos displayed. I say that with the utmost respect for the firefighters, the police department and port authority members who participated in rescue efforts and played such a vital role in those efforts. I do not regret, however, visitng the museum workshop.

This exhibition provides a cosy but very informative environment for international visitors to understand the Sep 11 incidence. Highly recommend! Suggest to visit the 9/11 memorial beforehand :)

My mom and I found this museum online and saw all the wonderful reviews. They were all correct. The museum was only 1000 or so square feet but it was remarkably jammed packed with details, photos and never seen and heard before pictures, artifacts and sounds from 9/11. We even enjoyed a special visit from Mr. Susson, the photographer, who spoke about his experiences. This is definitely a must see while in NYC.
