Step by Step

Upon arriving at the Ground Zero Museum Workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to explore over 100 exhibits featuring images, videos, audio recordings and artefacts recovered during the Ground Zero Recovery Period. You can take the tour at your own pace using an audio guide or join a guided tour led by a specialist museum guide.

As you progress through the exhibition, you’ll be able to get up close to the most intimate and emotional artefacts, such as the Frozen Clock, whose time has been stuck since the moment the South Tower collapsed.

During your visit, you’ll also have access to images of the PATH train tunnels affected by the explosions. You’ll also see videos of the excavation and search operations for victims, which lasted for over nine months.

In every exhibition, you’ll discover a story rich in meaning. From survivors to police officers and firefighters, you’ll be presented with unique images, including the charred page from the Bible at Genesis 11, the Tower of Babel amidst the rubble of the WTC, and exclusive portraits of the Honour Guard.

You’ll also have access to 3D photographic installations. This material was produced by Gary Marlon Suson, the only authorised photographer at Ground Zero.

In most museums, you’re not allowed to touch the exhibits. However, the Ground Zero Museum & Workshop is different. During your visit, you’ll be able to hold objects such as shards of glass, sheets of steel and other elements from the towers’ facades and windows.

This museum has twice been selected as one of the ‘25 best museums in the US’. It is located in the Meatpacking District, a historic neighbourhood where you can visit iconic sites such as the High Line Park, Chelsea Market Eatery and the Whitney Museum.

    This visit was the most moving experience on our trip to New York. I recommend it to everyone, this museum workshop is a must see. I was not able to leave without crying, the feeling the visit conveys is too emotional and personal.

    Very very exciting. Small and intimate, but very informative. If you want to understand the human sacrifice of some of the most moving stories of 9/11, this is the right place. The Museum is also located in a very nice area of NY, so spend some time wandering around the area.
