The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza examines President John F. Kennedy's life, assassination, and legacy from the former Texas School Book Depository.
Photographs, documents, and interpretive displays place the events of November 1963 within their political and social context. Views toward Dealey Plaza connect the museum's account with the surrounding streets.
This is a substantial historical visit rather than a quick photo stop. Check timed admission and accessibility arrangements before arriving, and allow time to consider the exhibits carefully before exploring the outdoor plaza.
