Moving Experience

For a Canadian couple who only saw what happened during 9-11 through media reports, this was an excellent way to better understand the heroism that took place following the tragedy. You hear directly from the photographer what he saw and experienced while police and firefighters spent months searching through the rubble. It's not just about seeing the photographs and artifacts, but about hearing the stories of those that dedicated their lives to making the clean-up meaningful to those who survived and families grieving those who did not. A moving, powerful exhibit for anyone comfortable feeling emotional and wanting to remember the devestation. I would not recommend this exhibit for small children.

Ground Zero museum workshop a MUST-SEE
Wed, May 8  11:00 AM DianaLangloi Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Strongly suggest taking in this one room museum of 9/11 photos BEFORE going to the 9/11 Memorial site. The photos and artifacts in this museum are powerful, emotional and inspirational all at the same time. Really like that the photographer told the story that accompanies each photo through the use of a headset. You will need two hours if you really want to see and hear it all. It totally brings back the events of that day and following weeks...lest we forget!

So So Sad

My wife and I were overwhelmed by what we saw in the museum. It is a must for every American, and by that I mean those that love the USA. Many of the photos brought tears to our eyes. The devastation and the useless loss of lives, what a waste. Those that committed this heinous crime against humanity should burn in Hell.

An intimate tour that is very thought provoking
Sat, May 4  3:00 PM cdpopeye Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
The location is an apartment in the Meat Packing district. Easy to get to via 14th Street subway. Our tour consisted of 12 people and lasted 2hrs. You are greeted at your appointed time at the entrance by your host. Inside you are seated with your 'tour mate' a hand held device that provides audio commentary for the exhibits and shown a short introductory video. This is supplemented by commentary from your host. You are then free to view the many exhibits and photographs on show. The tour provides a unique insight into the events at ground zero post 9/11 at a very personal level and provides background to many of the human stories, in particular those involving the rescue workers and their families. It is a must for anyone working in the emergency services. I strongly recommend that you visit after you have been to ground zero to understand that scale of the challenge that those brave men and women faced following this terrible event and the fantastic memorial that has been built on their efforts.

A moving experience

Af first we thought that the museum was quite small. However, after a heartfelt introduction by the host we toured the room listening to the commentary, via the headphones, about each photograph and exhibit by the official photographer himself. The fact that you were effectively in a private world listening to someone who had such a close relationship with the people involved, contributed to a moving and unique experience. Visiting New York for the first time we left feeling much closer to the events of 911 and quite emotional..

An emotional journey
Sun, Apr 21  2:00 PM TonySkinner Male 60-69 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
After an initial introduction, visitors are left to themselves for the majority of the visit. This comprised viewing the numbered exhibits, each with its own commentary via a headset. A limited number of mementoes are available and visitors should take note that many more are available at the memorial site. It can be quite emotional even if you suffered no direct loss as a result of the tragedy so be prepared. The only downside for me was that the young lady giving the introduction was quite softly spoken and, together with the noise from the air conditioner, I missed most of what she said.

Appreciated the artifacts/lacked Sept.11 footage

The group thought, regardless of the intensity, that they should have captured/reviewed the actual days events as horrific as they were. Then we would appreciate the various artifacts to the utmost.

Very sobering experience

My boyfriend and I had never been to NY so when we finally did the Ground Zero Museum workshop was definitely on our list of things to do. Although a small museum there is a lot to look at and understand. The self-guided aspect worked out well, it allowed you plenty of time to make your way through everything and really provided that first-hand perspective. We left the museum in a very emotional state and felt that we had a much better understanding of what the men, women and children involved went through on that horrific day. I definitely recommend taking the opportunity to check out this museum.

Not what I expected
Thu, Apr 11  1:00 PM guyparker Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I was expecting a full fledged museum and not a one room museum with pictures that I listen to the commentary for. I think that I would've liked the 9/11 Museum better.
