| The video,artifacts and photograph descriptions were very tastefully done and provided a very moving insight into the horror of the day.
Amazing that such a small museum could hold our attention for a full 2 hours. |

| Truly earns its nickname as the "biggest small museum" in NYC. It was a humbling afternoon. |

| Photos bring you to the reality of what happened and how individuals tried to find everyone that went missing that day. |

| Well documented and very informative, done very well, kind of surreal and a great way to honor those who passed in this tragedy and especially to honor the workers who tirelessly worked for many months in the recovery effort. |

| Interesting event -- but I feel it's as much a study of the museum's curator as it is a study of the heroic rescue and recovery efforts. Here is exactly what happens -- you see a 5 minute CNN video piece about the musuem's curator, and how he came to take the photographs he did, and the various emotions he felt while working on the project. Then there's about a 15 minute video slideshow of the photos from the curator's book. Then you pass around three artifacts from Ground Zero. The first and second artifacts are crosses and Jewish stars the recovery workers cut from the steel salvaged from the site, and the third is a piece of glass from the WTC recovered at the scene (glass was very rare in the rubble --most of it turned back into sand from the heat). Then, you have about one hour to walk around the room, using your "TourMate" headphone systems. There are framed blow-ups of the photos you have just seen in the video, and each one is numbered, and you punch in the number on the TourMate and hear a brief story about each photo. There are also some other artifacts (calculators, calendars, clocks) which are also numbered and you can do the same for those.
All in all, an interesting way to learn about the WTC recovery efforts. Also, the workshop is located in the Meatpacking District, a burgeoning interesting neighborhood. Recommend walking down the street to the High LIne park after your tour. If you can't make the tour, might want to consider buying the book with the photographs. |

| An incredibly rewarding few hours.. Gary's spirit and passion ooze out of the walls of this very special place. If you visit New York you must come. Be prepared to relive some of the raw emotions of 9/11. You will also be uplifted by the photos and stories of the many heroes of that day.
Bravo Gary and thank you for letting us share the experiences and insights that were granted only to you.. |

| We enjoyed it very much. The pictures and the stories with them put a face to what happened. It made it more then just a story on the news. We will remember what happen and what the people did for each other. The pictures were very good. You could get a feel of what the were doing, and how much emotion was running thru them at that time.
The tour was good, but we felt like we could have been given the headphones and walked around on our own. We did not know that you had to go at the time of a tour. We had walked over to the museum at 11:00am (that is when the sign said it opened). Then we had to call and make reservations for a tour later that day. |
