IMAGES AND REMNANTS FROM THE GROUND ZERO RECOVERYThe Ground Zero Museum Workshop in the Meat-Packing 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 Ground Zero Museum Workshop is the brainchild of Gary Marlon Suson, an Honorary FDNY Battalion Chief and the Official Photographer at Ground Zero for the Uniformed Firefighters Association.
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
