| While most of the people on our one day bus trip to NYC opted for shopping, my friends and I took a taxi to the ground zero workshop. We were met by the photographer himself.. a very humble man. His photographs were compelling and his narraration about his feelings and experiences while he was taking these photos were even more descriptive and emotional. We spent the full 1 1/2 hrs. and could've used more time. We were so glad we went!

| it would be better if the museum is located near the ground zero itself. i find the workshop tour not to be well attended, so there is little interaction and can be boring. |

| I think out of respect to the victims and survivors of the events of 9-11-01 this very rare & special museum is a MUST SEE. The pictures & stories alone are powerful enough to move any American, not to mention the items displayed from the Ground Zero site. Don't let the size of the museum fool you. It may appear somewhat small in size at first, but once you realize the significance of what it is you're looking at, you'll be awe-struck. |

| Gary has done an excellent job of sharing his view of Ground Zero! The combination of his pictures and the artifacts takes one right back to the days and months after the terrorist attacks. I had the privilege of working at Ground Zero, specifically at Site One and St. Paul's Chapel between January and June, 2002 and this was my first trip back to New York since then. Spending part of my day with Gary and Joe was very special. Thank you so much Gary!!!! We will NEVER forget!!!

| This museum, a collection of the photographs of Gary Marlon Suson taken at Ground Zero during the recovery and also of artifacts from that time and space, is a very important and well done work. It brings you into the Pile.
It is emotionally difficult but definitely a part of the story that should not be missed. Gary and retired firefighter, Joe Miccoli, are interesting speakers, welcoming hosts and willing providers of information.
Thank you, guys. I will not forget this experience nor what you did for us during the recovery period. |

| While planning activities for an upcoming NY trip, I read about the Ground Zero Workshop & Museum on a travel website and knew that I absolutely must see it while I was there. I visited with my husband and parents the first week of December. We expected to see photos and artifacts but never expected the staging/presentation to be so overwhelming and moving. Put this at the top of your list. |

| This was an excellent workshop. To be able to get close to the thoughts of those affected by this event and also view artefacts from ground zero was very thought provoking and moving. Visitors are also able to buy merchandise that raises money for those affected. |

| this was a very informative session. our guide was very knowledgeable about everything and was actually off duty as a fire fighter on 9/11 but came to the scene to assist. The photos and the commentaries associated with them really hit home and in some cases were overpowering. I think my children, ages 19 and 16, can now better understand the true depth of this tragedy and how it affected ordinary people in the course of their ordinary lives. I would recommend this tour to anyone who can fit it into their schedule. it is well worth the time and money. |

| When we initially stepped into the museum workshop, we thought it appeared very small and wondered if we would be able to fill an hour but quickly found that we were totally engrossed. The audio tour system that explained each photograph and exhibit was very moving and Gary Suson was a delight to talk to. He kindly let us stay for over two hours and was happy to answer any and all of our questions. We felt very moved as we left and would recommend this museum to anyone visiting New York. Gary kindly dedicated a copy of the Requiem book to me. The last time we were in New York was a few months before the 9/11 tragedy and we were standing on top of the World Trade Center so it is still almost unbelievable to us to see a large void where the towers had been. We would be most grateful if you could pass on our thanks to Gary Suson for putting together such a brilliant and respectful exhibition. He is a very talented man.
Kind regards.
