The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza
A museum located in the former Texas School Book Depository, chronicling the life, death, and legacy of President John F. Kennedy at the site of his assassination.
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza occupies the very floor from which, according to official investigations, Lee Harvey Oswald fired the shots that killed President John F. Kennedy on 22 November 1963. Located in downtown Dallas, the museum provides a deeply immersive and emotionally charged experience that explores Kennedy’s presidency, his assassination, and the controversies surrounding it.
Exhibits include photographs, news footage, artifacts, and historic documents that guide visitors through the events leading up to, during, and after the assassination. The museum also includes a carefully preserved "sniper’s perch" at the southeast corner window, along with reconstructions of the crime scene and materials from the subsequent investigations.
The building overlooks Dealey Plaza and the grassy knoll—names etched into the fabric of American history and conspiracy lore. The Sixth Floor Museum is a solemn, thought-provoking space that invites reflection on one of the most shocking and defining moments in 20th-century U.S. history.
