Ground Zero Museum Workshop Tour Details

The Ground Zero Museum Workshop is the only museum of its kind in New York. It is a beautiful place for tourists, family members, and locals alike. You will not see images like these anywhere else in the world. Each item has an eyewitness story or personal account by your tour guides, all of whom participated in the Recovery.

The Ground Zero Museum Workshop in the Meatpacking District on West 14th street features stunning images, rare video and remnants from the Ground Zero Recovery Period, all packed into an intimate and emotional space.

The only all-access, sanctioned photographer at Ground Zero, Suson's one-of-a-kind, 3-D photo installations place viewers into the "hole" at Ground Zero. Visitors are also allowed the rare opportunity to pick up and hold World Trade Center steel and window glass. The Non-Profit Museum, a must-see before visiting Ground Zero, also benefits numerous 9/11 and Fire Department-related charities and is endorsed by many noted firefighters and 9/11 families. 25 people per tour, which includes a powerful 15-minute video.

About 5-minutes from Ground Zero via the "E" train. Daily tours last about 90 minutes and include the intimate stories behind 100 images and remnants. This is a "don't-miss" museum that touches the heart of young and old alike. No graphic or morbid images are displayed and the museum is known for it's sensitivity to a very tough subject matter. Suitable for children.

In addition to striking photographic images, you will also see:

* Artifacts from the Recovery
* Items worn by Recovery workers
* Actual tools that were used for digging
* Rare video footage from inside the World Trade Center site displayed on large screen in surround sound
