| Unfortunately, circumstances prevented us from using our tickets and experiencing the workshop. I hope that we will be able to visit sometime in the future. |

| This was my second visit to NYC and this wonderful museum in two years. Since my visit last year I have spoken to many, many people about the "must-see" exhibit. Gary has to be the most perceptive and respectful professional photographer in the world. You must not visit NYC without visiting Ground Zero Museum Workshop for a true up close and personal 911 experience. The small space is packed with so many touching pictures and memorabilia items My opinion is that every American should see this exhibit. |

| We we're all affected by 9/11 and this workshop is a reminder of the events that followed after the attack. It was what I expected and more. Somehow through all the images comes a sense of hope; maybe when you see the determination of the rescuers recorded on film it's a reminder of the need to keep things in perspective as we move through our lives..
Well done! |

| The photos. The stories. The Lives. If you weren't there that day or didn't personally know someone who was there, when you visit this workshop, you will ... well, there's no real way to describe it... you'll just feel it. You'll feel a connection with the victims, with the families, with the fire fighters. My family traveled from California and the one request from friends back home was "You have to go to Ground Zero for me." For someone who is not from NY or didn't know what the towers looked like before - the sheer awesomeness of them; the real Ground Zero looks like any other big contruction site. That's not to take away from seeing the actual site itself. You sort of have to. Its just something we all as human beings; as Americans, need to see for ourselves. But when you walk into the workshop and you see the photos and you hear the voices, you can't help but feel the full impact of that day. I took my niece and nephew all over NY. We went to the Stature of Liberty, the History museums, Time Square...EVERYWHERE. But of all the places we went and the things we did, the Ground Zero Workshop is what they were talking about when they came home. They were sharing the stories of the father looking for his son and of three brothers. They weren't telling the story of a tragic event in our country's history. They were telling the stories of real People.
I won't give any details here. You just have to feel it for yourself. |

| My family enjoyed listening to the stories about the wonderful pictures displayed. It was a privilege to meet the photographer as well and chatting with him was insightful. I was touched by the "cross photo" and the "Genesis 11 chapter from the Bible." It reaffirmed God's presence. He is here to comfort and help us walk through the difficult times.
I forgot to explain to my family that this wasn't going to be a regular museum, but a small room of the photographer's collection. It was cozy. I think that added to the remembrance of all the people that perished and all the people that volunteered.
When we got back home, I was pleased that my children shared with others about their experience at the museum and the stories they heard. We also went to Disney World, D.C. and Philadelphia, so having them share about the "Ground Zero Museum" as a highlight of our trip was a blessing. My children are 23, 21, 15 & 12.
Thank you for sharing the photos and helping others to remember. |

| If you don't do anything else in NYC, do this! It is perhaps more important than visiting the Ground Zero site itself. It is probably the most emotional experience I have ever had. When you first go in, you see that there is only one room and you think "this doesn't look that imposing"........ I could have spent hours there. The pictures, the stories, the artifacts--it is the closest you can get to the actual experience of having been there during the recovery. Truly, words cannot adequately describe this experience. |

| At first we thought the museum was quiet small and weren't sure what to expect, but each picture and each artifact had its own story-we were the last one's to leave! We gathered so much information from our short time there-learned much more about what many people went through, especiallty the firefighters. We know people who volunteered and we watched countless hours of television, this musuem gave us a different perspective. Good for those who want to heal and those that want to remember to never take things for granted. |

| I would highly recommend this emotionally packed museum. It is easy to see that all involved in this endeavor have put their heart and soul into it. The photos really paint a picture of what happened on that day and the search that continued for survivors. We were lucky to meet Gary Suson who is the photographer for this amazing collection. Besides viewing the photos, you are able to pick up and hold artifacts from the site. We enjoyed our tour guide who easily answered all our questions and encouraged us to stay as long as we wanted. This museum is even more important now that you really can't get close to the actual 911 site. I would not miss this tour! |
