Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, Historical museum in downtown Dallas, United States.
The museum occupies the sixth floor of the Dallas County Administration Building, featuring exhibits about President John F. Kennedy's life and death.
The Texas School Book Depository building, constructed in 1901, operated as a warehouse until Dallas County purchased it in 1970 for preservation.
The museum maintains an extensive collection of 2,500 oral history recordings, documenting personal accounts related to Kennedy's presidency and assassination.
Visitors can explore the exhibits through self-guided audio tours available in multiple languages, with advance tickets offering substantial savings.
The preserved sniper's perch presents the exact location where Lee Harvey Oswald fired the shots at President Kennedy's motorcade.
