New JFK Exhibit and Documentary

[Frank W. Baker]

To mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the Newseum (Washington DC)  will feature two new exhibits and an original documentary film chronicling the presidency, family life and death of America's 35th president. "JFK" includes "Creating Camelot," "Three Shots Were Fired" and the documentary, "A Thousand Days," and will open April 12, 2013. Also featured: "JFK Online: From the Newseum Archives," an interactive Web-based exhibit that draws from the Newseum's collection of video interviews with journalists who covered Kennedy. A visually stunning timeline presents key moments in Kennedy's life, with rare photographs and personal recollections from the leading journalists of the day. This brief online video highlights some of the artifacts of the new exhibit.
