Moving Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Mon, Jun 30, 08 12:00 PM	Rebecca39	Female	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Couple on a Date
The cost of the tour is a bit pricey, but ulimately it was worth it in the end . (Besides, the money goes to a good cause!) This museum is a very small space with A LOT to see, feel, and reflect upon. It's tiny space was initially disappointing, but after viewing the photographs and hearing the stories behind them, I realized the intimacy of the space really enhanced the experience. It was a very moving day. I recommend this tour.
Must see for all visitors to NY!! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

Hello Gary, My name is Jill Topness from Rochester, Minnesota and just got back from New York after a 3 1/2 day vacation there with a friend. I met you yesterday (Mon, 6/30/08) while touring your museum and was struck by your down-to-earth personality and humbleness. What a pleasant surprise to have you, Gary Marlon Suson, America's Photographer for Sept 11 there, and I feel fortunate to have met you. Thank you for establishing this museum and for risking your life at Ground Zero during that horrendously tragic day in history. What touched me most about your workshop was the human elements, such as camaraderie amongst rescue teams, complete strangers, volunteers (and even the 'canine variety' and their touching stories). Not to mention, your keen spiritual observations incorporated throughout the exhibits (i.e. the iron crosses, stopped clock, Bible verse, lone haggard teddy bear and the significance you gave to it; America dusting itself off and trudging onward to honor and protect our country. The fact that your camera focused in and captured raw human emotion was outstanding, particularly the devastating sorrow in people's eyes and during individuals solitary moments of prayer & reflection. Heard this quote on a Good Morning America this a.m. on a piece about a woman who survived a family tragedy where her brother killed their parents: 'Trauma tends to freeze people.' May the Ground Zero Museum Workshop live on to memorialize the thousands of people who lost their lives on September 11, but also to help ease suffering of the victims families, friends and fellow Americans who are left behind. Such as, the story about your saving the metal panel of the plane that hit the World Trade Center and giving a small piece of it to a victim's family member is a perfect example of your heroism. It was a pleasure to meet you Gary, and I look forward to reading your book that I purchased yesterday and will most definitely share it with others. Sincerely, Jill PS Our tour guide was also excellent so please thank her for us, as well. (forgot her name but she is the Rachael Ray look-a-like). : )

The pictures and the short audio narrative that goes with them was very well done.
a must on your visit to new york Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

Biggest little museum definately fits the Ground Zero Museum and Workshop. Everything about this one room museum has a big impact. It was very moving but not in a way where you felt too heavy when you left. I was impressed with the stories of people coming together in the rescue/recovery efforts and that the focus was on this. My nephews, ages 16yrs and 19yrs were also moved and full of questions. Taking them there sparked some very good and important conversations and I think it even brought us closer together as a family.
The museum stretches your heart! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sat, Jun 28, 08 1:00 PM	Nora47	Female	20-29	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
I didn't exactly know what to expect purchasing these tickets. I knew I wanted to go, but I had no idea the museum would touch my heart the way it did. I must admit, it is a small space; not very big at all. But all of the stories, artifacts, and pictures it entails makes such a small room seem so big. I walked out with a different perspective, giving new meaning to September 11, 2001. It was an unforgettable experience, and one i would recommend to all of those interested in learning more about 9/11.
WONDERFUL Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

THE WORKSHOP WAS WONDERFUL. VERY MOVING. SINCE SO MANY OF US JUST WATCHED ON TV, THIS REALLY BROUGHT IT HOME. BEING ABLE TO SEE ACTUAL PIECES OF THE GLASS AND SUCH WAS MEMORABLE. HAVE ALREADY TOLD ANYONE THAT IF THEY GET TO NYC, THEY MUST SEE GROUND ZERO MUSEUM WORKSHOP. WHAT GARY HAS DONE AND IS STILL DOING IS VERY COMMENDABLE.
Very real and intimate exhibit! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Thu, Jun 26, 08 11:00 AM	traveltrish	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
Upon entry I was concerned about the smallness of the facility, but quickly realized and felt the reasoning behind the setting. There are many little stories which allowed us to get a real understanding of the experience. A few of the stories and items shown are eerie and symbolic which makes the exhibit even better then expected. Gary Suson has done a wonderful job creating an environment and setting which allows the patron to bring children who can get a true feeling of the events while getting a feeling of hope for the good that came out of that horrible day. The entire gallery is appropriate for children that are of the age to understand what happened on 9/11. I hope you all enjoy as much as we did!
A Very Special Museum Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Mon, Jun 23, 08 2:00 PM	dmashbaugh	Male	60-69	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
Our visit was highlighted by the fact that Gary Suson was actually there and gave us very personal insight into all the photographs and artifacts recovered from Ground Zero. All displays and photos are easily identified and keyed to a personal audio device that allows everyone to move through the museum at their own pace. Each photograph has a unique story and the visit was a very moving experience. I would recommend it to anyone except very young children.
Very emotional and informative! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

The Ground Zero Museum enlighted me on aspects of 9/11 that I never thought about before. My heart was very heavy as I listened to the stories behind the pictures. I have a whole new perspective and respect for the survivors of 9/11. Gary did an excellent job in capturing the emotions and events of that tragic day.
Not what we expected Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

It is very difficult to find. We almost wondered if it was a legitimate place. You have to ring a bell and go to the second story of a building to find it. I thought it would explain the events of 9-11 and have pictures of that day. It was all about the recovery starting in November of 2001. So no pictures of the actual day it happend. There are about 100 items or pictures all in a little studio room and you walk around listening to a description of them. If I had known that I would not have gone. It was good to go to but I wish we would have gone to the actual ground zero visitors center. If you go to this just remember that it is of the recovery and it is very small. I would say this is good but also go to the visitor's center at the site. If you don't have a lot of time in New York this may be something that you hold off on. We had 2 days and I felt like we could have spent our time better.
Eye opening, needed experience Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sat, Jun 21, 08 3:00 PM	nbechard	Female	20-29	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
You hear a lot about 9/11 but nothing as uplifting and eye opening as this. The experience changed a lot of the outlook I had for this day. You can touch artifacts and put stories with faces. I know a lot of times I watched the news and wondered how much of the story are we really getting. This museum will tell you the full story with faces and names. Please dont be skeptical about it's size. It isnt about the size of the room, but the impact of what it holds.
Moving Tribute Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sat, Jun 21, 08 1:00 PM	Kel2001	Female	20-29	International Tourist(s)	Other
My outlook on the event has completly changed from visiting this workshop.This is a very tastefully done tribute to those that were lost that day.You can touch artifacts as well as listen to stories behind pictures. Gary has done a fantastic job in capturing the emotion-no words are needed for the pictures as they tell the story,something which I found very moving. Watching the event on T.V was one thing, but visiting the workshop really opened my eyes.The guide was fantastic as she took her time to go through the artifacts & pictures. A must see if in New York.
Great Experience Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

I really enjoyed the close intimate setting on this museum.
surprisingly uplifting Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Fri, Jun 20, 08 11:00 AM	theresaharri	Female	50-59	Local	Family With Children
having been a NYer all of my life and being in NYC on 9/11 I was reluctant and at the same time drawn to the museum. I have been to the WTC site many times since 9/11, have many friends and family members who have experienced personal loss and who participated in the search and rescue. It was a pleasure to be able to take each part of the exhibit at one's own pace. Choose to skip over certain parts or spend extra time at others. the size of the exhibit and the restriction of participants gave you an opportunity not often found in a museum and certainly not in one in NYC. I took my son who was 11 at the time of the attack and who has a different perspective, but nonetheless, he too was impressed. While it was an emotional experience, it was not overwhelming. Balanced? Respectful certainly. Memorable and worth the time.
This was a very meaningful and well done memorial Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Tue, Jun 17, 08 1:00 PM	kathystoulp	Female	60-69	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family Without Children
My two sisters and I traveled from Iowa to view this memorial to 9-11, and it was very well done and we felt that it was a fitting tribute to those who died on 9-11. We hope that all peoples who mourn those who perished in these attacks, will go to experience this memorial. Our guide was so nice and concerned that we benefit from all the displays and really explained everything in the exhibit. Thank you so much..
