The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza: The Past is Relevant

The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza is on a mission to teach young people and adults that the past is still relevant. This museum offers an in-depth exploration of the life of President John F. Kennedy, his assassination in 1963, and the influence he still has on the world. Founded in 1989, the museum has hosted more than 6 million visitors, and relies on 400 photographs, 45 minutes of documentary films, and countless artifacts from the 1960s to create a “living” landmark of our country’s history. Visit for special exhibits like A Photographer's Story: Bob Jackson and the Kennedy Assassination go deep into specific aspects of the assassination. The permanent exhibits are all-encompassing in scope, and the museum also plays host to lectures, panel discussions, presentations, and special exhibits throughout the year. The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza helps visitors, particularly those who were not alive before JFK’s death, understand the assassination and its influence on American culture as well as the world. For a truly educational experience, visit the museum today for a step back in time.
