Images & Artifacts from the Recovery. Daily 2-hour tours leave visitors with a lifetime of memories. The new "Must-See" Museum in NYC for anyone looking to learn more about the aftermath of 9/11, this small museum in Manhattan's Historic "Meat-Packing District" is known worldwide by media as the "Biggest Little Museum in New York" for it's tiny size but gigantic data & story content. Tickets: (212) 209-3370
A 5-Star rated tour and ranked the '4th most popular attraction in NYC', tours consist of a short historical introduction by a trained guide, a 12-min. film on large screen, an interactive walk-thru & explanation of WTC artifacts and lastly the self-guided audio tour of 100 images & artifacts (Italian, French, Spanish & English). Non-Graphic and very kid-friendly, the museum stays away from the day of 9/11 and focuses on the 8-month aftermath, when cameras were forbidden.
The stunning images at Ground Zero Museum Workshop were all shot by actor Gary Marlon Suson, who served as the Official Photographer at Ground Zero for the Uniformed Firefighter's Association & Uniformed Fire Officer's Association. Appointed by UFA Manhattan Trustee Rudy Sanfilippo and overseen by FDNY Chief of Department Daniel Nigro, Mr. Suson had unfettered access to document every area & aspect of the Ground Zero "Recovery" & did so unsalaried, taking out bank loans to finish the project. The resulting collection, called "Rare Photos" by Susan Sachs of the New York Times and "Incredible" by David Asman of Fox News Channel, is now beautifully presented at the Museum Workshop. Gift area on premise. Wheelchair accessible. Included on display is the famed "Genesis 11: Tower
of Babylon" Bible page image, the "Frozen Clock", PATH Subway images and several "Honor Guard" images.
