Ground Zero Museum Workshop, the small but emotionally powerful museum in the Meatpacking District now has self-guided audio tours in Italian, French, Spanish & English. The high-tech audio listening units, which contain real sound effects from the Ground Zero Recovery along with the narrated stories, were donated by Neil Poch & his company, Tour-Mate Systems in Canada (www.TourMate.com). Sound engineering & recordings were donated by James Regan, owner of Audio Mixers in Manhattan. Tour tickets available by calling ZERVE at 212-209-3370. Daily guided tours last 90 min. No charge for tour tickets for immediate 9/11 family members or active FDNY, PAPD or NYPD with I.D. Suggested donation for tix are $19/adults and $16/kids & seniors. Museum is a nonprofit and opened in September of 2005. It was created by actor Marlon Suson, who took a hiatus from his theatrical career to serve at Ground Zero as the Official Photographer on behalf of the Uniformed Firefighters Association and Uniformed Fire Officers Association (2001-2). The image collection was dubbed "Rare Photos" by Susan Sachs of the New York Times & the museum has a near perfect 5-Star rating in customer reviews (4.8 stars out of possible 5) and you can check some of them out here:
