John F. Kennedy
The Exhibit
Located in the heart of President Kennedy’s living memorial, this immersive exhibit uses the latest in digital technology to explore how the arts infused and informed the Kennedy presidency. As part of the experience, three scavenger hunts are available at each entrance for elementary, middle school, and young adults.
“The life of the arts, far from being an interruption, a distraction, in the life of a nation, is very close to the center of a nation’s purpose.”
—President John F. Kennedy
