Photographer Suson captured the details of emotions and events after 911 in a very tasteful and moving display of pictures, artifacts, video and audio of the recovery of the WTC site. It is a one room museum with more information and photos than any multiple room museum could hope for. The audio of each picture, which there are many, is narrated by Mr. Suson who shoot every photo and gives you the feel of viewing the picture at the exact moment it was shot. This is a must see in New York to remind everyone that America and her spirit is strong and here to stay! Mr. Suson, Thank you for taking this emotional journey to catalog this journey for everyone who could not be there in person. |

It is billed as the biggest little museum in the world and that's an understatement. The most humbling, emotional museum I have ever visited. |

This is a unique museum well worth the visit. We were impressed by the amount of information contained in this one tiny museum and the heart warming and heart breaking stories told with the utmost respect. I would highly recommend this museum to anyone. By visiting, you not only ensure that those who died are not forgotten but also those who worked so hard and tirelessly in the recovery. A truely moving experience. |

I would recommend everyone experience this museum workshop tour...it is as important as visiting the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Central Park or the Met in New York City and clearly presents insight to yet another chapter of American History. The tour was well presented and sobering-very profound. I cried at the personal stories, bravery and tragedy. We must always remember... |

Visiting this museum was an emotional and challenging experience. It was unlike anything I have experienced before.
I can't imagine anyone would leave this tour without a genuine and broader appreciation of the events of 9-11 and in particular, the recovery that Gary Suson has so brilliantly captured and generously shown in this space. This tour is not so much about what happened on that fateful day, but the recovery effort that followed and the people involved.
It may not be the easiest way to spend a couple of hours, but if you want to experience the beauty and courage of the human spirit in the aftermath of tragedy, this tour is well worth doing. |

This was the last planned event we were doing in the city before heading home with our 16 year old son. I was wondering how he would react to this museum and the heavy weight it would carry and although it's very hard at times to consider what the victims went through and now their families, the experience was one I would recommend to everyone. The audio tour allows you to go at your own pace, which I appreciated. Sometimes I just needed to pause and reflect on a photograph's impact. The stories behind the photographs really give life to what the rescue efforts were about - bringing as many victims home as possible. When I was done looking at the photographs and artifacts I looked up, and around the ceiling are words of comfort defined: love, liberty, freedom. That's what I carried away with me when we left the museum. Thank you to Mr. Suson, the photographer and his staff. Lauren was a great guide. |

The actual facility is much smaller then I imagined but packed full of visual memories. Definitely worth the trip and time spent. I would recommend visiting to any one -- any age. |

This was so worth the time to go through the museum. I had 2 children and they each got alot out of this museum. The sign that leads you to the museum needs to be a little bigger but easy to find. Such a part of history now that is worth taking the time to see.
Thank you |

I highly recommend visiting the museum. While it is a sobering reminder of that day in 2001 when so many lives were lost, it leaves you with a great feeling of pride and appreciation for the sacrifices that were made in an effort to heal America after this tragedy. My heart goes out to all who lost loved ones and my thanks to those who participated in the recovery of both those lost and our nation. |

I felt it was my duty as an American to visit the Ground Zero Museum Workshop. I was in my early 20's when the attack happened, and though I was incredibly saddened by the event and touched by how our nation pulled together I was also somewhat removed from the incident, being from Texas and not being directly affected by the lives lost. After completing the tour of the museum I have never felt so moved or touched by any event. I was feeling powerful waves of remorse, joy, guilt, angst, and pride for what our country had endured and overcome. Me and my husband spent well over 2 hrs. examining all the musuem had to offer. The tour guide working the exhibit could not have been more perfect for the job. She was slight, respectful, supportive, informative, and spoke with a hushed voice. I enjoyed speaking with her about the incident, the tour, and various person's responses to it all. The experience was worth every penny and I would HIGHLY reccommend flying to NYC just to visit it. |

I thought the Museum was great. The tour guide was very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere felt very personal compared to big museums you can go to. I liked the fact that you could work round the museum at your own pace and listen to the stories in the order you wanted. |

Thank you, Mr. Suson, for your photos! They expressed deep impression. Thank you for not showing again, what spread in standard-TV-broadcasts. |
