Highly Offensive Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Mon, Sep 11, 06 1:30 PM	dsimnett	Female	50-59	Local	Individual
I found the exhibit to be in extremely poor taste. Artifacts from a site where nearly 3000 people murdered on the fifth anniversary of 9-11 were displayed like a circus freak show; broken glasses, a mangled keyboard, dirt, glasses, a firefighter's glove... Don't know how they got the stuff, but as a New Yorker, I consider Ground Zero hallowed ground, and I hope every New Yorker is just as shocked and offended by the vulgar and tastless display of murdered innocence and heroism. I was told the proceeds from the admission and book sales go to 'a charity'. I was not told which charity. The photographer was too busy autographing his books.
Do NOT miss this! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

As a former NYPD officer (retired), I went into this activity a little skeptical... but I was absolutely TOUCHED by the sensitivity and emotion that went into what was obviously a labor of love and respect for those lost that fateful day. As I expected (in my somewhat jaded and cynical mind), the workshop brought back the horrors of that day, but it also spoke VOLUMES about the dedication and focus of the workers at Ground Zero... and I walked out of that small venue with a new appreciation for the simple act of waking up in the morning, or giving a hug to someone I love. Mr. Suson is a brilliant, insightful talent - with an eye for capturing history that I don't think will be eclipsed for generations to come. I applaud those who had the guts to fight to get Mr. Suson into Ground Zero... and I give a STANDING OVATION to Mr. Suson's dedication to what had to have been a watershed task in his life - something that will live on long after all of us are gone. To those considering this activity, I say to you - RUN. Do NOT walk. This is something that will CHANGE you... it will make you cry... it will make you think... and it will be something you will remember FOREVER. Thank you, Gary. Sally from San Diego, CA

Saw the museum on 9-11-06 and it was especially moving to be there on the 5 year anniversary. It was really cool how the photographer was there to explain every detail and even one of the surviving firemen were there also. It was amazing and truly moving. I would highly recommend it to anyone who gets the chance to go. It is an amazing experience and I would do it again.
Excellent highly recommended Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

On our recent trip to New York we became aware of this recently opened Museum that we recommend without hesitation. The work of Mr. Gary Marlon is wonderful, very emotional and in my opinion an excellent tribute to those people who risk their life after the 9/11 events. It was a privilege to visit this Museum and share time with Gary and the people who were there during that afternoon. Iris Acevedo, MD San Juan, Puerto Rico 9/10/06

It was necessary to be remembered of the terror that happened that day because I never want to forgot all of the lives that were lost on 9/11. It was very emotional and spiritual. I am very glad I went.
Great! Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

This was a wonderful depiction of 9/11 and the events following. Gary Suson offered the same sensitivity in presenting the "Museum's" holdings as he did in taking the pictures. It was wonderful to be able to hear from the actual photographer the events that were shown. Definitely a "recommend to friends" site.

A must visit before going to Ground Zero site Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour

We visited the museum prior to going to the site of the World Trade Center and this was a big plus as it gave us a better perspective of what we saw at the actual site. My son and I were the only ones at the museum on the day we visited and were lucky enough to have a private guided tour by Gary, the photographer who took the photos and collected the relics from the site. The museum is not that big, perhaps only 500 - 700 sq ft. however there are a large number of photos and items that can be viewed. Every item that Gary collected has a story behind it. In the future rather than being toured around the museum personally you will be given a headset with a pre-recorded tour. For the price of $16/person this is very good value. My 16 year old son, who is not easy to please, throughly enjoyed the tour and really appreciated it once we got to the World Trade Center site. The museum is located in the meat packing district about 2 miles away from the actual World Trade Center site. Gary actually took photographs from the top of the building on Sept. 11th which are displayed in the museum.

Reality without hype. Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Tue, Aug 15, 06 11:30 AM	helfrichbob	Male	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
The museum was personal and up close. Gary Suson gave depth to the images he created and made them personal rather than documentary. My Son who is now Ten years old was Five when the disater hit and saw many horrible and repeated images on televison, this experience did not frighten him the way the media hype did. The museum opens up a dramatic interpretation on how the recovery operation went while giving a sense of the reality of everyday operations at Ground Zero. The men and women who lost Brothers, Sisters, Friends and Family are shown as real people rather than newsclip heros and gives a sense of why we must Never Forget.

Mesmerizing and Thoughtful Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour
Sun, Aug 13, 06 12:00 PM	Kexiang	Male	20-29	International Tourist(s)	Individual
Gary is simply amazing, I was so honored to have him as a guide. The amount of heart and attention put by individuals so involved in 9/11 to honour the memory of friends and strangers through the interaction with uncanny objects and brilliant photographs is just breathtaking. There is just so much emotion in that well-tended space- to remind us of the fragility of our tenuous peace and to never forget the significance of the event. Yet the most important thing that this memorial brings up is the hope and love between people; celebrating their bravery, passion and strength in trying times.
