"I thought I was prepared for the emotion and sadness I would feel at being in NY for 911 and our subsequent visit to the Ground Zero Museum Workshop. I wasn't even close. The museum is amazing. From the moment my husband and I walked into the room we were over come with emotion. While watching the introduction (on personal head sets) I suddenly realised I had tears running down my face and looking around the room I wasn't the only one affected by this narrative, tastefully done, by Gary Suson. While only a small room, there is more atmosphere in that one room than in the whole of NY. You get to self pace through every picture or every story you want to know more about. It is an ideal way to spend a a few hours (realistically 1.5 hours of wandering once you have watched the introduction) lost in your own thoughts, remembering the fallen from 911. It was a humbling experience and I am glad we made the time to go. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend taking the time to visit. I am so glad we did.
