Ground Zero Museum Workshop

10/10. Such a wonderful and eye opening experience. You learn about the people affected during 9/11 and their stories through harrowing photos & items found from Ground Zero. Gary put so much care and love into the museum. He is very personable and we had a great time. This is a must when visiting NYC!

Beautiful museum, lots of history and information. It's sad but very important place. I highly recommend it to everyone.

This was the highlight of my 88 year old mother’s and my trip to NYC. The experience is highly emotional but is done in the most respectful, authentic manner. My dear friend who lost her first responder husband (with triplet toddlers at the time) said she finds this to be a beautiful tribute and historical masterpiece. If SHE approves, I feel there is no higher seal of approval. To me, the art is not meant to be gruesome sensationalism, but rather a sober understanding of the magnitude of 9-11 with a clear sense of how many people rushed to try to help. It let me shed tears and feel tremendous sorrow, yet it also gave me an overwhelming feeling of finding some sense of healing. I felt enormous pride, gratitude and brother/sisterhood with the countless documented pictures and stories about acts of heroism and also about the genuine shared grief that tragically but also lovingly connects so many people. This will be a life changing visit for anyone who visits the museum. The gift shop has many beautiful keepsakes at all price ranges. I didn’t want a souvenir like that I might purchase at an amusement park. But I wanted something to bring home to remember my visit and to continue to feel connected to everyone who was touched by 9-11. The manager of the gift shop went above and beyond to personally help me locate a particular item I wanted. It was not even an expensive item AT ALL and yet he treated my elderly mother and me with welcome and appreciation as if we were making a million dollar purchase or donation. You will be profoundly moved and so grateful for the experience of visiting Ground Zero Museum Workshop.

A must see before you head to the memorial itself. As an Army veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq, it was extremely meaningful to see these artifacts and the photographs of our emergency responders. It will also provide context before you visit the 9-11 museum. Grateful that Gary has put this small but impactful museum for the public to Never Forget! Please put this on your list of things to do! Located in a great area of unique restaurants either before or after the visit.

Had the privilege of visiting this place and meeting the man behind all the photos and exhibits. Very rare opportunity to be inches away from actual world trade centre dust/glass and every day items retrieved from the wreckage! I loved how I was able to soak it all in without large crowds! Please visit and donate when possible!
