| I could not connect the artifacts I saw with the facts of that day.
The images in documentaries are much stronger in my opinion.
Also it is not like a museum, it is a small room and you have to be there at the correct time, you are not allowed to get in a few minutes before.

| Location is kept a secret as it is in an inconvenient location. Over priced. |

| I am a retired fire officer who served 20 years with the FDNY. The events of 9-11 touched me very deeply. I lost 343 fellow firefighters that hatefull day. I thought i was over the emotion of such a loss, but the museum presentation brought it all back like it was yesterday. I actually broke down during the initial video presentation, and Gary was very sympathetic to my display of emotions. He allowed me as much time as I needed to compose myself. Gary Suson has done a remarkable job in both, the research and the presentation of the events following 9-11. He spent numerous hours at the site and in the hole. His displays clearly reflect that effort. I highly recommend this exhibit to anyone and everyone. But, if you have any attachment to the events of 9-11, be prepared to become emotional.
Thank you

| This was an inspiring and interactive look at ground zero from the eyes of the only photographer allowed to take pictures. It was interactive because we could touch pieces of steel and pieces of rare glass found at the site. It has a personal touch as only a handful of people can go at one time because of the size of the exhibit. Don't be suspicious of the means to get in to the exhibit. You need to go at noon and be buzzed up to the second floor in the meat packing district. It is on the up-and-up, and done that way because of the small size of the exhibit. To sum up, it was sensative and touching. Proceeds from this exhibit go to help charities associated with 9-11.. |

| hands-on interactive workshop- well presented with video and audio information.The photography of gary suson is amazing and you can purchase a book of his for 49 dollars. Proceeds go to 6 different charities and the book is not available through local retail bookstores. I enjoyed the tour so much I just might do it again!!! |

| We were fortunate to have Gary as our 'guide'. He has given to the world the priceless gift of his time, talent and enormous sensitivity and caring for such a traumatic event in the history of the United States and the World that is still hard to get one's mind around. Our hearts cannot even imagine the true love, compassion and self-sacrifice that he and those working at Ground Zero gave for our fellow humans lost in this horrible tragedy. Each exemplifies the grace and goodness that we each would hope to find in ourselves if called upon in any needful situation. This exhibit should never be dismantled. Attendance should be mandatory so the World never forgets the tragedy, but also, gains an understanding of the resilience and generousity of the human, and very American, spirit. |

| My wife and I found this to be a deeply emotional experience. Coming from Australia, and also being previous visitors to New York City, we were very touched by the photos, video/audio presentations but most specifically by Gary Suson's personal account and recollections. We applaud his passion, not only to his art, but also to the thousands of people who lost their lives on that terrible day and their families. Having watched this all unfold back in 2001 from Melbourne, Australia and being quite distressed at the time it was a sureal experience to talk to someone who was at the World Trade Centre site during the recovery operation. Gary was an amazing person who has a great talent, not only with his photography, but also with his recollections of the various stories behind his photos. We purchased his book "Requiem" and have bought that home with us to ensure we never forget the very moving experience of the museum. We have had quite a few requests from familty and friends to view this book. Those who have already done so have also found it very moving in itself. Gary's work and museum should have a lot more exposure and recognition for what he has done in ensuring that 9/11 is never forgotton in the amazingly tasteful way that he has portrayed his photos, artifacts and stories. Very, very highly recommend. However take plenty of tissues. David and Michelle Burdett, Melbourne, Australia. |

| My wife and I attended this presentation and where lucky enough to have Gary Suson as our moderator. Gary is the person that took the photos and was the only allowed in to document 9/11 for the first nine months. He is very knowledgable and also very sensitive to what he was part of. He also has first hand experiences that no one else in the world has. The photos are great, but even better are the items on display that were in the rubble at the Trade Centers. The hardest and most difficult piece to look at, though, is part of the airplane that he has on display. Although it is maybe 3 feet by 2 feet, it really represents a lot of what happened to many of the people that day. We would recommend this to anyone even over going to the actual Ground Zero itself.
