Zerve was efficient and easy to use. I also highly recommend the Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour on 14th Street to all visitors to and locals of New York.

Very Well put together

My experiance at the Ground Zero Workshop was unforgetable. The atmospher was pleasing and each exibit gave so much information about the aftermath to 911. I was totally impressed with how well this museum was put together. I was most impressed how all the money put into the museum is givin back to New York Fire Department. Alot of time, effort, and heart ach was put into this museum in a very personal and intimate manner. I recommend going to this museum and then visit ground zero its self. It puts the meaning into the aftermath of the tragedy ground zero.

A very moving tribute
Fri, Mar 30, 07   11:30 AM gjohnson Female 70+ Local Family With Children
My husband and I are New Yorkers and did not know about the museum. My grandson, who is 12 years old and lives in Brookline, Ma., told me he wanted to see it. What shocked me was that he knew about it and here I am in NYC and did not know about it. To say I am very appreciative to my grandson for suggesting this activity, is putting it mildly. It is moving, jarring, very sad but very enlightening. While watching the film and seeing the artifacts I felt as though I was there. This is a museum that should be available for all to see. The only recommendation I would offer is to get larger quarters.

Unique and haunting
Mon, Mar 26, 07   12:00 PM LindaRH Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Individual
A truly unique and very intimate experience, the Workshop is like nothing else you will see connected to 9/11. I was at first apprehensive that the very small space containing the Workshop would lead to disappointment, but in the end I was glad as each of the photographs and exhibits impacts such an emotional punch that even the 2-hour visit wasn't enough to do it all justice. Viewing 9/11 from the perspective of the recovery effort is humbling in a way I can't begin to describe, and my visit to the Workshop is something that will stay with me for a long time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Workshop to others and will certainly return during my next visit to NYC.

Moving Experiance

Don't let the exterior of this building in the old meat packing district fool you. The tour is definately worth the trip. The diner on the corner was great for brunch before walking down to meet our tour. We were lucky enough to have a small group. The photographer was on hand to answer questions. The movie that opened the tour was moving and really shows his perspective.

Ground Zero Museum New York - March 2007
Fri, Mar 23, 07   11:30 AM BRADFORD Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
My sister and I are from England and visited the ground Zero Museum in March 2007 after y visiting the site of the Twin Towers the previous year. The museum although small makes a huge impact, there are numerous photographs and artifacts from the World Trade Centre towers and most tell a story. they have a number displayed next to them and you have an individual hand held what looks like a mobile handset which explains each picture/artifact. I am unable to put into words the emotion you feel when listerning and seeing these objects which range from a menu from the restaurant high in the towers to glass from the windows of the world trade centre itself. I am extremely pleased that i attended as I felt as if I was respecting all those who lost their lives that dreadful day - all monies go to charities involved in the 9/11. If you ever go to New York visiting this is a must.

Very Moving

I'm glad I visited. I can see how it would be very difficult for a native New Yorker, but it will help everyone to Never Forget. This is not a typical tourist thing to do. Gary was very straightforward in his presentation, and no pressure to buy a print or book. Recommend to all.

Intimate Exhibit
Sat, Mar 17, 07   1:00 PM pshipp Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
This was truely a unique experience. Don't expect a large museum. This is a small studio with many original photos and artifacts. Our tour guide on this day was the founder and photographer who took the pictures and collected the artifacts. There were only 4 of us their at this time. The guide took considerable time with us and explained many aspects of a truely tragic day and months that followed 9/11. Again, don't expect a large museum, but a very intimate experiece to really get a unique perspective on 9/11, Well worth the time and money.

Takes you top a place where not many have been!
Sat, Mar 10, 07   1:00 PM scottcal1 Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Not ever having seen the "Twin Towers" live and now that GZ is basically a construction sight, we were looking for a tour that would let us see the real ground zero following the days after the terror attacks. This museum did that for us. While the museum is only in a small 1 room studio, it has a powerful presence about it. A presence where you can get an understanding of the event and the days following. This is not a museum about the attacks themselves, but it is about the days and months following. Pictures of family and firefighter brethren searching for friends and love ones. Each picture and artifact display has a story behind it and that story is relayed to you by the artist who took the pictures. There are 100 of these stories. The museum tells the story, not of the deceased but of the living who worked so hard to find those who parrished. A picture of a father helping to carry his deceased fire fighter son from the sight. A clock that stopped at the exact timeof the collapse. Crosses cut from steal beams to give to the families of the deceased are just a few of the items you will see and touch. For anyone looking for some type of closer from this horrendous attack, we highly recommend a visit to the GZ Museum.

An Emotional Insight to Ground Zero & the 9/11th
Sat, Mar 10, 07   11:30 AM Teckie Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Other
I went to this tour on the recommendation of a very good friend of mine, Helen, who had found this website while she was browsing the net on New York City tours for our recent visit there. I was intrigued by the photographs that Gary Marlon Suson has taken after being appointed by the FDNY. Helen & I are deaf and although we had a viewing of a DVD documentary of 9/11th without subtitles, he was very helpful explaining the account of the items he had on display whilst printing two long documents based on accounts of the photographs and items salvaged from the ruins of the Twin Towers in the workshop. It was very informative with overwhelming description too. It has knocked us two back for six! The Museum Workshop was very well laid out and organised by Gary Marlon Suson. I would highly recommend that you pay a visit to learn as you will realise the history of the Ground Zero Recovery Period. Heart rendering & emotional stuff too. Well worth the visit. Des Green & Helen Spencer

interesting museum

Museum contained many interesting photos and items from 9/11 and the World Trade Centers. Owner of museum was only photographer with 24 hour access to Ground Zero and was able to go anywhere. Many interesting things in the museum that I was unaware of.

Not to be missed
Mon, Mar 5, 07   12:00 PM Sykes1 Female 20-29 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Having visited the World Trade Centre on my fist visit to New York when I was just 15 I was amazed at it's size and beauty. When years later I sat in my office and heard the news of the terrible events that took place on September 11th my heart went out not only to the people in the towers but to their friends, family & the whole of America. I have since visited ground zero on my subsequent trips and always feel a connection with what happened there. When I discovered this activity I was apprehensive about what it would be like and if I should attend. I can say that the time my family and I spent in the museum both educated and humbled us. The pictures portray the human courage, dedication and spirt of all those who tiredsly worked at recovering those lost that day. The artifacts on display are respectful and thought provoking. I whole heartedly thank those involved with the museum for provding me with the opportunity to learn about the events of that day and beyond and to see how humanity can shine even through the darkest hours.

"REAL"

You can feel the compassion, you can hear the sounds, you can almost smell the desperation of recovery at Ground Zero that artist, photographer Gary Suson has captured through his lens in this one of a kind collection that he shares with the world. Gary Thank you for your unselfish being to dedicate your life to bringing these images to life and sometimes even closure to some families who were affected by this tragedy during our lifetime. Without your collection the world would never know what it was really like. You were there. The most touching part of this workshop is listening to the photographer give his testimony. We all want to be somehow connected to that day 9/11 to understand the impact and his words and direction really pull you in. Marivel Chicago
