| This small museum was somewhat difficult to find, small, and a bit cramped. All that said, this was the most unbelievable thing we did in NYC. This was our first trip, and very little can top seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time, but this museum did it. We bought a few posters from the museum, and when we unwrapped when we returned home, my wife and I could still barely talk about them without getting choked up. This was a life-changing two hours and nothing we saw topped it - period. |

| Having previously visited New York on a couple of occasions we were looking for something new, and were very impressed by the reviews of the Ground Zero Museum Workshop. The reviews were right; this is a very well thought out and compassionate dedication to the 9/11 victims and recovery workers. |

Lots of factual information on Ground Zero

| Our efforts to find the Ground Zero Museum were indeed rewarded. The two hour tour of the museum was very informative and I highly recommend this to visitors to New York. The photos and artifacts gives a good feeling of what it must have been like to be part of the rescue operations - a very emotional experience as well. |

Excellent photography

| The many photographs give you a sense of what the recovery process entailed during the aftermath of 9/11. Particularly poignant were the photos of the retired firemen who had lost their sons in the tragedy. |

| I actually live here in NY and my cousin was visiting from Germany and she actually found out about the museum on the internet. I had heard nothing about it. My brother is fireman and was involved with 911 and thankfully one of the fortunate ones. My heart goes out to all those families and you have done a wonderful job in displaying some of the stories so that we'll always remember those who have passed but never forget the tragedy . Thank you for enlightening me and making me remember all the good that came from that terrible evil.

| This musuem is one room with photographs and some ground zero artifacts. Everyone is given headphones with a pre-recorded guide for each picture/group of artifacts. The pictures are mostly of the aftermath/clean-up of 9-11. Very thought provoking images and some you will have seen before. The pre-recorded guide is interesting in that it describes the picture and then usually gives information about what was going on in the picture and the name of the people in the picture. When I first went in, I thought one room? What's up with that? But there is about 100 items to listen to/ look at. This exhibit really is about telling the story of the people affected by 9-11. I think it is worth the visit and definitely worth the price. It is also capped at 25 people (I think) so there is not a mob in there pushing to see everything. The owner has his book and pics for sales. He came in about halfway through our visit and was delighted to sign books, pictures, have his picture taken with anyone and talk about his photos. This is not an exhibit about the mechanics of the attack. For example, there is no map showing the positions of the building or where the planes hit and that kind of thing. I would recommend it if you are interested in the human side of what happened. |

| This museum was a place where you truly felt connected to 9/11. Well worth the trip. We liked how personal the experience was. Definitely an emotional journey but one that we'd definitely recommend. |

| You will find that the workshop is small in size but big in the number of artifacts and pictures. These items help to tell the stories about the people that were most affected by the 911 tragedy. It was very beneficial to experience the workshop prior to our visit to the the Ground Zero site. |
