| I would highly recommend this to anyone. It was very moving and such an amazing way of providing a place where friends and family could go to reflect on the events from 9/11. Most of my party had a few tears in their eyes by the time the tour was over... The lady who explained everything was helpful and passionate. The audio systems was a great way of being able to listen and find out about each individual artifact and also enabled you to take your time with each item/photograph. Gary was there at the end to answer any questions and also to sign photos etc. I still cant believe the amazing photos I saw, where he was able to capture the sadness during the massive recovery operation at ground zero. There were some really lovely touches as well, like being offered chocolates at the end to lighten the mood! Thank you so much, this tour will be something that will stay with me forever. |

| I cannot recommend this museum enough to everyone I know that will go to NYC. My husband and I went with a couple from his Army National Guard unit. This museum sent an overwhelming amount of emotions through my body as I looked at the walls filled with memories and stories. My husband was on a four-day pass, getting ready to head to Iraq and this experience provided us with the strength and courage to come to terms of this deployment. It reminded us of the reason he would be heading to Iraq. An EXCELLENT way to view the recovery efforts after 9-11 and an Amazing tribute to the men and women who worked in the recovery effort. A great way to pay tribute to our heroes, and the pictures were simply indescribable. Small private setting made this tour more personal. Must see in NYC, Please take the time to see this museum, it's well-worth your time and money! |

| This was an incredible exhibit. Gary Sosson, the photographer, happened to be at the workshop the day we visited and it was really great to meet him. He put together a very heartfelt exhibit for people to visit and you feel like you're there at ground zero with him while listening to all the amazing and brave stories found in the pictures he took. |

| This workshop museum was one of the highlights of our trip to NYC. When I made the reservation I did so because I wanted to learn more about what the Ground Zero workers and families experienced, and had a feeling I would walk away with even a greater appreciation for their services. I was not disappointed in any way. I was also prepared for a strong negative emotional experience due to the nature of the presentation, but this workshop is very tastefully done and it was uplifting. It allows for a more personal experience, unlike a typical museum. You also see things that have not been presented through the press. I didn't think I could have a greater appreciation for the firemen, police, community volunteers, etc., but after visiting this museum I do. I feel this is a "must do" if you live in or visit NYC. They don't allow many people in at one time, which makes the visit even more special. Thank you Gary Marlon Suson for putting together such a touching experience so that we will never forget what happened that day. Please know that we all appreciate what you had to go through to bring us this wonderful presentation. One thing - make sure you have good directions and make reservations in advance. We almost thought we were on the wrong street in Chelsea. We even asked merchants around it and they didn't know which direction to send us in. Have the address handy when you get to the street. We went to La Bergamote (a French pastry shop around the corner that was recommended) before hand and I highly recommend that. We then walked south to Greenwich Village, SoHo, etc. for the remainder of the day. |

| We visited the Ground Zero Museum with 8 x 18 year olds.
We learnt so much - none of which (or could have been) broadcast at the time.
So many little details and so many interesting facts.
We were extremely lucky to meet Gary Marlon Suson who answered all the questions the girls had.
We found the museum an extremely fitting tribute to the many thousands of people who perished in the atrocity which was 9/11.
This should be on list of things to do while in New York. |

| The tour was very intimate full of so much information. Could be very sad at times as the information was so thorough and real. |

Very moving

| This museum was amazing. Of course it was somewhat hard to visit and I knew it would be sad. The theme was healing. It was small and intimate and there were a lot of little details I learned about that I didn't know especially about the recovery. There were a few things we were able to hold like a piece of glass from one of the buildings. The many stories were touching and oddly enough it did seem to convey a message of hope and triumph. |
