| This exhibit really brought the details of the recovery and the magntitude of the task that the firefighters and other recovery workers faced in the days and months after 9/11. It is a moving and extremely sensitive display of photos and artifacts that really make one stop and think again about the horrific acts of 9/11 and about the fact that we need to be constantly on guard to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again.
The sensitivity of the photographer was so evident throughout the entire display, and the personal and profound effect that his work throughtout the recovery period had on him as a person was tremendous. He has done a great service to the rest of us by documenting these events, as well as the effect that they had on him personally.
The bravery and tenacity of the recovery workers cannot be overstated - they are all true heroes and this exhibit is one that everyone who visits New York should see - I highly reccomend it. |

| 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. |

| We were both very surprised how small and intimite the museum was. Gary Suson was there to tell us everything we wanted to know, but a lot of pictures told us the story itself.
It gave us the impression we were actually there to relive it. The pictures were so real, so impressive. If you really want to know more about 9/11, more about the rescuers who did such a great job, and you want to hear stories you will never believe but did happen. Please go to this museum. It is the perfect way! |

| 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.. |

| 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

| I wasn't sure what to expect when arriving at the Ground Zero Museum. The outside of the building is deceiving and so is the inside.
When you first enter you may think it's small, but it packs a powerful emotional punch. I left emotionally drained and glad that I stumbled upon the website that led me to the museum.
We spent over two hours going over the pictures there and I hope that the museum continues to grow and that people will never forget what happened on September 11th. |
