The Sixth Floor Museum examines the life, times, death, and legacy of President John F. Kennedy, and located at the very spot from which he was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald.

It also documents the government investigations that followed, as well as the historical legacy of the shooting.

Interactive touch-screens overlooking Dealey Plaza offer an immersive, educational, and incredibly moving experience.

Other items include twelve cameras used by eyewitnesses in Dealey Plaza, in addition to an Italian-made Mannlicher-Carcano rifle identical to the one investigators found on the sixth floor.

From there, you'll make your way through his two-day trip to Texas, the assassination, and the events that followed.

You can view it through the infamous "Corner Window" in the museum.
