The main exhibit galleries at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum will be temporarily closed for technology and design upgrades from December 31, 2014 through March 27, 2015 (note: the closing date has changed from January 2 to December 31, and the opening date has changed from mid-March to March 28). The project, which was announced in May 2014, will include overhauling and adding to the existing museum technology infrastructure, creating an interactive, dynamic experience for visitors to learn about John F. Kennedy, his era, and his administration.
The Library’s special exhibit To the Brink: JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis, Research Room, JFK Café, and Museum Store will remain open to the public during this time. No admission fee will be charged to visit the Library or view the special exhibit. Public and private events, including Kennedy Library Forums and children’s Celebrate! programs, will still be hosted as scheduled.
