Reverent
Mon, Sep 28  12:00 PM b1macsd Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Being from the central midwest, I am definitely not used to large cities and congested roads and walkways. As a "country bumpkin", I felt humbled and reverent in the walls of the museum. I fluctuated back and forth on whether I wanted to even go to see Ground Zero and this museum. I had seen so much on television and still couldn't believe that our USA was actually attacked. I guess the biggest thing I felt after going through the information and DVD introduction was that I had paid my respects to the many people who had paid with their lives and those that had worked so diligently trying to save and recover them.

Disappointed
Sat, Sep 26  3:00 PM Donegan Male 60-69 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I think we were expecting to see many more pictures and many larger pictures. They take you into this room not larger than the average livingroom - diningroom combination and have you take a seat facing a 42" TV screen and you watch a movie from a CNN TV broadcast about the owner of the studio who took the pictures. Because of the people sitting in front of you, you can't even see the screen without shifting to look between people. The audio descriptions of the individual pictures was good. I don't know how this museum got so many rave reviews on Trip Advisor.

A Respectful Tribute Capturing True Emotions
Sat, Sep 26  11:00 AM clean52 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
It was a very moving & emotional experience, especially being a member of the world-wide fire family. The museum setting provided a very peaceful, serene & healing environment. The pictures & artifacts truly captured the heartfelt emotions while honoring & respecting all involved. I enjoyed the individual hand-held devices to be able to set your own pace. Thank you for preserving such an important part of our history.

Excellent small, intimate collection
Sat, Sep 26  11:00 AM jkloni Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I read about this little museum on tripadvisor.com. A friend and I were visiting NYC and decided to come. They limit the tour to 20 - we had 12 at the 11am Saturday tour. It's a large room filled with pictures taken and items recovered from the World Trade Center site by the only official photographer of the FDNY. Your tour guide gives you some information, then you watch a video narrated by Gary Suton. You are given headsets that allow you to roam the room and listen to the information or stories by pressing in the appropriate number that is tagged to each piece. I think the actual pieces found intrigued me more than the pictures. A business card, a box of matches from Top of the World, a shoe (could have come from one of the stores). A clock with its time stopped at 10:02:14 - the exact time one of the towers fell. Our tour guide was knowledgable and excellent. (She doesn't actually tour you around the room - you do that yourself.) Her commentary was moving and it was easy to become emotional. It's pretty somber - but I'm glad I went. It was very interesting. Just don't come expecting some large involved tour and rooms of stuff. It's an intimate look at his work. They only show approx. 60 people a day. You are allowed to take pictures of every exhibit - except one. I hear that Gary (the photographer who took the pictures and put the museum together) is sometimes there. I'd go back to talk to him.

Recommend to do before visit to Ground Zero
Thu, Sep 24  11:00 AM fionacox1 Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Other
This is a fantastic opportunity to experience as close as you can get to the tragedy and loss of life that occurred on 9/11. It was extremely moving, everyone in the group was touched in some way and many shed a few tears. The intimate stories told by Gary provided a personal touch to the individuals involved not only the lives lost but the huge team of people involved in post 9/11.

Don't be apprehensive about attending, a must see!
Thu, Sep 24  11:00 AM kimberlyV Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I was very apprehensive about attending this workshop. I had many questions as to why I should attend. At first it seemed morbid to me and also seemed that I was giving the terrorists the publicity the were looking for. But I later realized when I attended that we are there to support the families and to never forget the people who were lost in this tragedy and the heoric people who didn't give a second thought to assisting at Ground Zero.This intimate workshop let me review the archives and pictures on my own. Even though other people were in the room with me the headphones let me hear and see what I wanted. I felt as if the author was talking directly to me.

A very emotional few hours,
Thu, Sep 24  11:00 AM stevenhopley Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
To say we 'enjoyed' the visit to the Ground Zero Workshop Museum is not really the right word, but we're very pleased we did it. The groups are small which is nice as it is an intensely emotional and quite harrowing tour. It is mainly based on the photographs of the only authorized photographer of Ground Zero during the year following the tragedy of 911. Each photograph comes with a commentary which brings it to life and tells some very personal stories. There are several boxes of tissues around and they were very much needed. You couldn't fail to be moved by the artifacts and photographs with their accompanying stories. However, amongst the stories of tragedy and death, the experience is strangely uplifting when you see how those events unified a city , you can really feel how indomitable the human spirit is. After the museum we visited Ground Zero itself and at the moment there is really nothing to see but a perimeter fence around a large building site. That wouldn't have stopped me from visiting the site, but I would recommend a visit to the Workshop Museum aswell.

The Most Emotional Museum Ever Visited
Sun, Sep 20  2:00 PM phoughton Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Even watching the all the news coverage of 9/11 you never actualy belive it realy happened, visiting this museum brings it to life by hearing all the personal experiences and tragedies of the people involved. The emotions we experianced during our visit made us realy understand what the people of New York went through and their stories will live with us forever. A visit to this museum should not be recomended. It should be compulsory for anyone visiting New York.

So Amazing
Sat, Sep 19  3:00 PM jessican305 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
This museum is absolutely amazing. I loved that it was self guided so that I could take my time and look for as long as I wanted, but I also liked that we did have a "tour guide" so to say who was very informative and friendly. The pictures are amazing and the stories behind them are unbelievable. I didn't lose anyone on September 11th but this museum touched me beyond words. I would go back again and again. Definately a must see if you visit NYC!

Insightful and worth the trip
Fri, Sep 18  1:00 PM pwinchm Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The museum is well thought out and detailed. The "tour guides" were knowledgable and helpful. The content precludes saying "we enjoyed it". That said, we came away with a better understanding of the recovery period and a lasting heart felt memory for those lost in 9/11. I am glad we added it to our very short trip to New York and recommend it to everyone.
