| STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: EXHIBITIONS The Museum's permanent exhibition, John F. Kennedy and the Memory of a Nation, has been available as a self and audio-guided experience since it opened to the general public in 1989. This exhibition begins with an introduction to the historic location in which the exhibit exists: the former Texas School Book Depository building, where shell casings and a rifle related to President Kennedy's assassination were found on the sixth floor on November 22, 1963. It provides an overview of the cultural context of the 1960s and the presidential campaign that saw John F. Kennedy sworn in as the youngest president ever to be elected. The exhibit continues by examining the new president's family life as well as his military service, and experience as a Congressman and U.S. Senator. The exhibit reviews the Kennedy administration's accomplishments, including the creation of the Peace Corps, new policies to aid Latin America, and a celebration of culture and the arts that was highlighted by the historic preservation of the White House. In addition, the permanent exhibit examines challenges faced by the Kennedy administration, most notably efforts to curtail organized crime, the Cold War and Civil Rights Movement. This contextual introduction provides the backdrop for understanding President Kennedy's visit to Texas in 1963 and its political significance as he sought to galvanize the state's Democratic supporters in advance of his 1964 re-election campaign. The exhibit covers the President's reception in Dallas and concerns for his safety during the trip and is followed by details of the assassination itself and its aftermath, including the arrest of the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, and his subsequent death two days later at the hands of Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby, and the round-the-clock media coverage of the story. It continues by following the multiple investigations surrounding the case which tried to make sense of the eyewitness testimony, evidence captured on still and home movie cameras, news and radio material, forensic and ballistic evidence. Included with admission to the Museum is a touch-screen, multimedia audio tour that provides users with more content and more control over their tour experience. Narrated by Pierce Allman, the first journalist inside the School Book Depository building after shots were fired on the presidential motorcade, the audio tour fully integrates the exhibit's documents and artifacts into the overall interpretation and permits visitors the option of learning more about topics that are of specific interest to them. The tour builds upon visitor feedback gathered over the years, addressing requests to better interpret the view of Dealey Plaza from the sixth floor windows, and providing more information about Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby and the artifacts on display throughout the exhibit. The touch-screen tour is currently available in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, and as a Family Tour geared to family or school groups with younger visitors who may be unfamiliar with terms such as segregation, the Cold War, motorcade, etc. Both the general and family audio tours have been aligned with national and state curriculum standards. An American Sign Language video translation of the audio guide is available for Deaf and Hard of Hearing visitors. The exhibit also includes touch-screen interactive stations near the sniper's perch window that allow visitors to explore more details about the motorcade route and various locations in Dealey Plaza. The exhibition is further enhanced by six films that bring the story alive through historic footage and narration. The final film, Legacy, is the closing element of the exhibition and offers a contemporary look at President Kennedy's influence on civil rights, space and technology, the arts and community service. The Museum also hosts temporary exhibitions on the seventh floor of the building. The seventh floor offers a multi-purpose space to accommodate temporary exhibits, educational and public programming, and special event rental opportunities. Exhibits on the seventh floor have covered topics as enhancements to the permanent exhibit's core story and draw upon the breadth of the Museum's collections that are not featured in the permanent exhibit. COLLECTIONS The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza holds in its collections more than 50,000 items related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the local and global aftermath of his tragic death and the legacy of his presidency, with additional material focused on the social history of mid-20th century Dallas both before and after the assassination, the cultural history of the assassination, and the history of Dealey Plaza, the Texas School Book Depository and the John F. Kennedy Memorial. The Museum's collections include original documents and manuscripts, photographs, newspapers and magazines, three-dimensional artifacts, architectural elements and audio-visual recordings including early 1960s television and radio broadcasts, amateur home movies and nearly 2,000 oral histories. The majority of the Museum's collections relate directly to the subject of the assassination of President Kennedy, and the Museum continues to acquire materials that are unique, endangered, and/or pertinent to that subject. In keeping with the Museum's mission and vision, the collection also includes materials connected to subjects related to Kennedy's legacy-such as civil rights, the space race, etc.-and local Dallas history. The ongoing oral history project collects interviews every year that relate to a wide variety of these related topics. The Museum strives to provide a broad range of access to its collections, through display in exhibitions, presentation in public programs, on-site research in the Museum's Reading Room, and internet-based access through the Museum's searchable on-line collections database. Collection items are also frequently presented through the Museum's social media initiatives. The Reading Room provides the Museum's on-site point of access to collections. It overlooks Dealey Plaza and offers a reflective environment for people of all ages seeking information and understanding about the assassination and legacy of President John F. Kennedy. While there, researchers have access to more than 7,000 books, magazines, newspapers and videos and covers topics ranging from Kennedy's life and legacy to conspiracy theories to 1960s pop culture. Visitors to the Reading Room may also access Permanent Collection items under supervision by collections staff. Many visitors determine which aspects of the collection they are interested by accessing the Museum's online collection database, a digital resource with links to films, newspapers, artifacts, oral histories and other permanent collection items. EDUCATION AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS The mission of The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza is realized through its educational outreach and public programs. Creative and engaging programs advance the Museum's commitment to educating a diverse public, fulfilling a responsibility to empower students, teachers, adult, youth and family audiences to understand how and why the past is still relevant. This goal is achieved through lectures, hands-on activities, panel conversations, live oral history presentations, author events, family programs, student contests, teacher trainings and interactive videoconferences that reach schools throughout Texas, the United States and beyond. In 2015, these educational programs reached approximately 12,300 school-aged children and 5,000 adults. |
