“JFK 100: Milestones and Mementos” opens on Friday, May 26 To commemorate the centennial of President John F. Kennedy’s birth, the JFK Presidential Library and Museum is proud to open a new special exhibit, “JFK 100: Milestones and Mementos.” Opening to the public on Friday, May 26 at 11:00am, the exhibit consists of a compelling selection of 100 original artifacts, documents, and photographs which reveal the arc of President Kennedy’s life and political career. Historical items like a baby picture from his first formal photo session, notes for his 1956 book, Profiles in Courage, and his Cabinet Room chair, put visitors in touch with the man who occupied the office. Forty of the items, including a selection of his personal belongings – his sunglasses, neckties, and gifts from his small children – are on display in this exhibit for the first time. The exhibit will run through May 2018.
