第六層博物館

First of all I was a little disappointed in the memorial. I don't know I guess I was expecting something different. I'm glad I went though. I went in the evening around 7 o'clock. it was dark and the area was pretty empty so I wouldn't suggest going in the evening unless you are with a group. And I think I would like to go back and see this in the daylight. Maybe I'd have a different perspective on the memorial itself and what it's trying to represent. The grassy knoll across the street also has a memorial on it. This is something free that you can just stroll in the area at your leisure.

The John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza is free and open 24 hours a day. A block from Dealey Plaza, the memorial is easily reached from Union Station or West End Station. Created by architect Phillip Johnson (a Kennedy family friend) and dedicated in 1970, the memorial is surrounded by large concrete walls that appear to be floating. The memorial itself is a slab of black granite simply inscribed with the late president's name. It's definitely worth a quick visit during the day or at night when lit by floodlights.

Two X-s visible on Elm Street mark the spots where the bullets struck President Kennedy. The Grassy Knoll was the location where unsuspecting Abraham Zapruder filmed the assasination that changed the history of the world. 6th Floor Museum; The Life and Times of John F. Kennedy is adjacent to the plaza at the corner of Elm and Houston Street.

Here's the grassy knoll where supposedly a second shot was fired at JFK. Not confirmed though. You can walk these memorial grounds free of charge and read the signs and plaques explaining that sad day in American history.

The John F. Kennedy Memorial is a must see when visiting Dallas. It's worth visiting both day and night. Be sure to see the plaque that explains the artists' vision of the memorial.

Breathe taking!

Not what I was expecting - very grim. But this is an important place for younger visitors to see because of its historical importance to their parents and grandparents. This place changed America for that generation just like 9/11 changed the country for the current cohort of young people.

Great Exhibits. Close to house.

The JFK Memorial Plaza is a large open space with an ugly monument in the center. It's four concrete Ls the define an empty space in the middle. With everything that JFK did or accomplished, I would like to have some hint that the memorial was something about him and not a terrible abstract art project. Most people seemed to have mistaked the JFK Monument for Dealey Plaza, the site of his assassination.

肯尼迪在連任競選時，在德州達拉斯被刺殺，殺手開槍的地方已被改成第六層博物館。第六層博物館坐落於達拉斯縣行政大樓的第六層，建立於1989年，這個紅磚七層建築曾是德克薩斯州公立學校教科書中心。博物館中收藏了很多當時的珍貴資料，共有40000多件，如兇手使用的帶瞄準鏡的步槍、肯尼迪在達拉斯競選時的錄像、照片、報紙、雜誌、口述歷史、案件破案過程、槍擊彈道分析等資料。在第六層博物館的馬路對面是喬治•迪利雕像和紀念碑。距離第六層博物館不遠是迪利廣場和肯尼迪紀念廣場，廣場中心是肯尼迪紀念碑。肯尼迪紀念碑造型簡樸，就是正方形四堵牆，中間一塊黑色花崗岩，正面刻着肯尼迪的名字。
