A sensitive description of the recovery efforts. Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

Gary has captured the recovery efforts from the World Trade Center in a powerful and moving series of photographs. He personally narrates each, which brings you right back to that day when our freedom and innocence was stolen. The musuem is something that every person should see. "Lest we forget"
A Must See to Comprehend 9/11/01 Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

The meat packing neigbhorhood has several places to eat and shops to browse on either the way to the museum or afterwards. The museum is small and very manageable if you only have 1.5 hours to spare. The photographs and artifacts are tasefully displayed and easy to view. Both the video and audio provide interesting background about some of the lives lost and about many of the amazing people who were involved in the rescue effort and the clean-up. It was an emotional experience and well worth the time.
A small memorial museum that packs a LOT of punch! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

A wonderful tribute to the victims and heroes of 9/11. I appreciated the fact that the musuem did not focus on the sensationalism of the terrorist attacks - no footage of the planes crashing in to the towers will be found. The focus was solely on the heroic rescue efforts and after-math of the event of 9/11. The personal stories behind each photograph and artifact truly bring the events to life and enable visitors to connect on a deeper level with what happened.
Well worth the time and money! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

This was extremely moving, powerful, and something Americans really need to experience. The museum is small but it took us over 2 hours to experience it, and to finish everything it would have taken another 1/2 hour. There were only four other museum guests when we were there. We watched a wonderful photo video that reminded all of us of the tragedy that happened on 9/11, and then on our own we used headsets to listen to personal stories about each individual photo and artifact in the room. This museum has pieces you won't find anywhere else, such as an electric clock hanging on the wall in almost perfect condition, frozen at 10:02 a.m. The artist, who is highly talented, was present when we were there and we enjoyed a personal conversation with him afterward. We leaned a lot and left truly appreciating everything we have in our lives. Don't do this if you're in a hurry or under time restraints.

We only had 2 1/2 days in NYC, so wanted to be selective about our activities. The Ground Zero Museum Workshopp tour was worth the investment in both time and money.

Mr. Suson has done an unbelievable job of documenting the tragedy of 9/11. The pictures, artifacts and helpful staff will help people years from now to remember what has happened....and to never forget it.
Respectful memorial to the victims 9/11 Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

During a weekend visit to New York from Widnes, England we took time to visit the Ground zero workshop museum. The museum was not well advertised and difficult to locate (in the meat packing district) but proved to be one of the highlights of a very enjoyable trip. The subject is treated sensitively with respect to the victims and their families. On display are many photographs of the recovery exercise taken by the official photographer employed by the NYFD plus a number of artifacts found at the disaster site. The display details the aftermath and recovery avoiding images of the attack itself and in no way glorifies the events. The details of each picture is described via your individual headset. The museum is good value for money and I left feeling well informed but a little heavy hearted.
An absolute must see. Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

This was one of the most moving experiences that I have ever had. The audio presentation of the exhibits is an awesome method to use to keep the interest of the technology-based teenager. I visited with my 17-year old son who has visited many "traditional" museums and remained mostly uninterested. We spent 2 hours at the Ground Zero Workshop Museum and he listened to every exhibit there. During our visit, he pointed out exhibits to make sure that I listened to them. We had quite a discussion after our visit. We were lucky enough to meet Gary Marlon Suson, who was there when we visited. I will be returning with my other teenagers soon.
Excellent experience at Ground Zero Museum Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

The museum was extremely interesting and informative, it gave a great insight into what happend on the day and the months afterwards. It told us things we never got to know about in the UK as we only heard about the actual day and not so much about the lives of the people affected by that awful day. I would highly recommend the museum to everyone who visits NYC. The guide was great and we even got to meet the photographer himself.
Quite the emotional ride back in time Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

"Never Forget" is their motto and I couldn't think of a better one. This audio tour takes you back in time and shows the other side of the 911 events, the impact it had on the families and the recovery effort that was conducted. Gary Suson did an amazing job of capturing all these emotions during the six months he spent at Ground Zero with the recovery workers. The museum is the next best thing to having actually been there. It was a very moving experience that we will remember for a long time. Eric & Vicky Ottawa, Canada

A poignant tribute to all those involved with 9/11. Bring some tissues but you will hold your head up high when you leave knowing that love and patriotism still exist.

As an international tourist I might see things differently - not having lost any friends or relatives in the 9/11 tragedy. Still, the visit to this museum is highly recommended to people from all over the world, not only to Americans. It is a tribute to the people who lost their lives and who searched for the victims for months. It really makes you think about this world and it tears your heart apart, when you see the pictures by fotographer Suson. He took the pictures with so much care and although the whole situation was very difficult for him, for sure, he managed to respect the dignity of the workers and victims, and still to catch so many private and special moments. Dark tourism - the new phenomenon at Ground Zero - might imply negative aspects, but this museum is not for mere sensation seeking - it fulfills a true educational goal and makes the people remember the victims of 9/11, probably the most important thing above all. Thank you for your work and effort in building up this wonderful museum. Maria (from Austria) If I had the chance to travel to New York with my students - I would send them to your museum. It offers an experience to young people they should not miss. Thank you again!!
Very moving and powerful! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

It was an incredible experience that put so many faces to a horrible tragedy. We all felt it be very powerful and spiritual and we appreciated the huge talent of Mr. Susan. (Who we got to meet and found him to be very gracious.) Our tour guide, Lauren was very knowledgeable and extremely pleasant. I will encourage anyone coming to NYC to go this museum.
UNMISSABLE Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Thu, Feb 21, 08 11:00 AM	HADFIELD	Female	40-49	International Tourist(s)	Other
I didn't know what to expect when I visited the Ground Zero Museum. It is a tiny museum, but each picture or object on display has so much meaning and a story behind it, which you can listen to on the headset provided by pressing the corresponding number on the remote control. You are allowed to touch some of the objects, which i was surprised about. The whole experience was very emotional. There are no pictures of bodies or anything like that - the whole exhibition is very thoughtfully and tastefully put together - incredibly moving - i was speechless for the rest of the day, but it also gave me a sense of understanding, and I felt i had paid my respects too. I totally recommend a visit here. My mother-in-law and I also met Gary Suson, the owner of the museum - who took all the photos on display - he was the only appointed official photographer of the recovery after 9/11, and he has given much of his time freely, and with proceeds from the museum going to the families of the victims. Amazing!
Sad yet Inspiring Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

The dignity and resolve of the people clearing the site are revealed in these amazing photographs. There is no way not to be sad when remembering the awful events of that day but the stories that go with the photographs are truly inspiring.
