Visitors to the Museum begin with an introductory film that uses vintage footage and John F. Kennedy's own voice to portray his youth, his wartime service with the U.S. Navy, his congressional and senate years, and culminates with his nomination for presidency.
After viewing the film, visitors explore exhibits specially designed to tell the story of John F. Kennedy as much as possible in his own words, offering a "you are there" perspective of the world of the early 1960s and the Kennedy White House.
This online tour includes selected highlights of the introductory film and allows you to virtually explore selected exhibits and learn more about key items in the Museum collection.
