| This small and wonderful museum is a real find. Gary (photographer, curator) has compiled artifacts and photos from the recovery, and provides great discourse on the recovery effort and his experiences with it. The audio tour-mate houses a collection of stories about the photos and artifacts. Truly a must-see, especially for New Yorkers. |

| My husband and I are New Yorkers and did not know about the museum. My grandson, who is 12 years old and lives in Brookline, Ma., told me he wanted to see it. What shocked me was that he knew about it and here I am in NYC and did not know about it.
To say I am very appreciative to my grandson for suggesting this activity, is putting it mildly. It is moving, jarring, very sad but very enlightening. While watching the film and seeing the artifacts I felt as though I was there. This is a museum that should be available for all to see.
The only recommendation I would offer is to get larger quarters. |

| Museum contained many interesting photos and items from 9/11 and the World Trade Centers. Owner of museum was only photographer with 24 hour access to Ground Zero and was able to go anywhere. Many interesting things in the museum that I was unaware of. |

| When I first entered the Museum it was very small and I thought like this was a waste., But then we meet this gentleman named gary and he brought it all into perspective! That room could have been no bigger than a shoebox and it still would have been worth it! I would highly recommend this activity to anyone going to New York or anyone that lives there and has not gone yet. Just to know what is behind each photo that is there and each artifact is truly a breath taking experience. |

| 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. |

| From two days after 9/11/01 to every year since, I have visited and photographed Ground Zero. I thought I knew and felt everything about that fateful day until my visit to the Ground Zero Museum. I had recently visited the Tribute Center, where I was moved and more enlightened than I had been before. My visit to the Ground Zero Museum was beyond anything I had experienced, known, or felt. It was an intimate and amazing display and narration of the rescue effort and all those connected to it. I was lucky enough to have Gary Marlon Suson, in person, who photographed the rescue effort for nine months, guide us through his unique and emotional journey, punctuating his visuals with his stories and artifacts. To be able to touch and hold these artifacts formed an intense and emotional connection to the recovery effort, the rescuers, and all the victims and their families. From the crosses cut out of the mangled, steel beams to the electric clock that stopped at 10:02 and 14 seconds (the exact time the South Tower fell) , was an out-of-body connection that cannot be described in words. You really have to be there. This exhibit is a "MUST" for every human being as an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual connector to humanity's good that rises from the bad.
My female (age 50-59) companion's review is as follows:
Ground Zero Museum Workshop is Inspirational
I found this experience to be truly worthwhile. As a resident of New York, needless to say, the events of 9/11 will stay with me forever. I continue to visit Ground Zero, as I am still coming to grips with what happened on that horrible day. I had no idea that Gary Marlon Suson had been asked to photograph the recovery effort until I heard about this museum. To be able to meet him and have him share his experiences with our group is something I will always remember. His photographs and artifacts are amazing, and his story needs to be told. I would highly recommend this workshop tour to everyone. I enthusiastically have been spreading the word. |

| Gary Marlon Suson's emotionally charged photographs combine with an impressive collection of artifacts from Ground Zero to create a sense of immediacy and intimacy, propellling the visitor into the heart of the Recovery effort. Suson's small gallery space contributes to the effectiveness of the visitor experience, humanizing and personalizing the visitor's encounter with this surreal time and space. The visitor is left with a deeper understanding of one man's experience of the Ground Zero Recovery, but this one experience is illustrated with an eye for the universal. |

| …An extraordinary tribute to the victims and survivors of 9-11.
Photographer Gary Marlon Suson guides you through his personal experience as well as the stories of many others who were affected by this tragic event. Through photographs, video, tangible objects and a self guided audio tour, the museum will bring you right back to that tragic day. A very moving experience - it’s a must see museum for both NY natives and visitors.
