Ground Zero Museum Workshop

Whilst we were in NYC we did all the main attractions. The 9/11 workshop was by far the most interesting and best value. It may only be a small museum but there was plenty there to engross us for nearly 3 hours. The museum curator Gary really cares about the stories that need to be told regarding the artefacts found during the recovery operation. You learn much more than from the fairly sterile larger 9/11 Museum next to the memorial pools. He was onsite for months during that period and has numerous tales of hope and heartache from those times. The only chance you will get to see and hold real items from the Twin Towers. Thanks Gary for a thought provoking afternoon. Stuart and Natalie in England.

Wow. Just wow. Gary's photography is beautiful and emotional. My eyes welled up with tears listening to his narration. This museum is well worth checking out and honestly I enjoyed more so than the Tribute Museum. The 9/11 Museum Workshop is more intimate and allows more time to really embrace the impact of the tragic day of 9/11. Definitely visit, you won't be disappointed. And Gary is down to earth and will answer all your questions.

A must for anyone interested in 9/11. A small and intimate space, with relics from the building you can touch and recovery stories by those who worked on the pile. Gary's photography is unique as he was there for months alongside firefighters working on the recovery. It brings another perspective to the 9/11 story. Gary's passion for documenting the recovery through photographs is a moving experience. Must see. Thank you Gary for your devotion to telling this side of the story.

This place is small and tucked out of sight on the second floor of a multi-use building. But if you are on a trip to NYC with young kids, and have been marching thru gigantic museums you will appreciate this place. It is a small space filled with photos and artifacts of the 9/11 clean up and recovery effort. It is moving and informative, but spares us the horrors of the actual event. The audio tour is very interesting and easy for adults and kids alike.

This is the best museum about 9/11 and Ground Zero, here ris the true story and very beautiful pictures by photographer Gary Suson. This is a small museum, but big in emotions en artifacts. This museum is the best I have ever seen !!

Wonderful to learn the stories, feel the emotions of the recovery workers and pay tribute to all those that lost their lives on the most impactful day in history! Gary was kind enough to open the museum on a day off. His passion for documenting 911 history through pictures/audio then sharing it with the world is priceless. My three children were engaged and moved for the entire tour. Thank you Gary for your kindness! Kristina

Awesome spot to come across. This museum is run by the only official photography allowed in Ground Zero after the 9/11 attacks. He was personally there for months and months documenting the search and recovery process from day one. Gary was a pleasure to be around and ask questions to and it was an honor to meet him. The museum is small and personal with so many important pictures, artifacts, and documents. The way the audio tour is set up is great, and allows you to move at your own pace. Being able to touch the artifacts was also very unique and appreciated. A definite must go for those wishing to learn the in depth view point about Ground Zero and the intense process that unfolded there during and following 9/11.
