| having worked in the WTC for many years, i didn't know how i was going to react to the musuem workshop and i also didn't know if my 10 year old son would be engaged. it was absolutely an amazing healing experience for both of us. Gary Suson's work is a living tribute to those that lost their lives and the people that tirelessly worked to save those that they could.
the intimacy of the environment lends itself to this experience being a shared energy with the small group of attendees, however, you also have the ability to be completely alone in your own experience as needed.
if you haven't been - you need to go - if you have, you need to go back. we will return. |

| Though not quite as emotion-rendering as some reviewers have claimed, the presentation was interesting and the photos of the recovery were amazing. What a responsibility it must have been for the photographer to follow this operation day to day and witness the destruction, pain & suffering that was caused by 911. I was most touched by the fact that this is a place where the families of the survivors can gain some closure. |

| I did not really know what to expect. I was worried that it was going to feel like an exploitation of 9/11. It was not. It was tastefully done. It helped me to re-connect to the day that we should never forget. We can never forget the people who lost their lives on 9/11, and this "little" museum is a wonderful tribute. It's a little museum with a big heart! |

| As a local NYer I surprisingly had not heard of this incredible museum. My family visited and were staying at a hotel near the museum and suggested we go. Of all of the tours and museums in the city, this is a must visit. 911 is an event that impacted the world and Gary Suson's photography is powerful and tastefully displayed. The museum is actually a small room which appropriately creates a sense of intimacy in a caring environment. The beginning of the visit to the museum is part talk/part video introduction and then you are set free on a self-guided tour which allows each visitor to have private moments with specific photos and items on display while listening to Gary describe in detail. The experience is moving and I couldn't recommend more highly. |

| This was a very good tour and the photos and videos were excellent. Part of the tour was very emotional especially the videos
It was great being able to discuss the photos with Gary who took the videos during the recovery effort at ground zero after the 9/11 attachs.
I would recommend this visit to everybody before they go to ground zero because yoget a better idea of the site and what happened during and after the attach. |

| The photographer had an incredible pictorial timeline for the events of Sept.11th. The displays of artifacts, and the meaning he had behind each one was amazing. The experience was something that I had told to all of my friends when I returned to work after my trip to the museum. |

| This was a fantastic "big" little museum in the meatpacking district. My husband was working in the twin towers the day that they were attacked. He was one of the lucky ones, but he stayed for a week and helped with the recovery efforts. We both were deeply moved by the photography and the accompanying stories. This is a very personal take on what 9/11 meant to the photographer and he shares his stories with everyone who visits the museum. It is done in a very tasteful way, sympathetic to the survivors, and family members of the victims. It is a visit that stays with you weeks after you go. I felt that it was an overall positive experience, showing how the recovery can help people to move on from an awful tragedy. |

| What an amazing museum! I was impressed by the fact that the museum was able to take such a tramatic event and display memories of that horrible day in a tasteful way. As a person who witnessed the events first hand, I was reluctant to go to the museum. But I am so glad that I did. The setting is peaceful and lets individuals come to terms with 9/11 at their own pace. |
