Due to limited time, I was able to visit two museums during my trip to North TX.
It was an unexpected rainy and cold day for arriving Texas. In the downtown, few vehicles and people.
The first museum that we visited was the Sid Richardson Museum. This museum collected paintings that describe the American West. One painting look very familiar. It was titled "the Hudson in Winter". To me, it looks like the Mont Ripley in Hancock.
I had another half day to plan my trip. So I visited "The Sixth Floor Museum". The name of the museum is quite strange for people who don't know about it. But the museum actually investigates the life, times, death and legacy of President John F. Kennedy (JFK). The museum locates at the sixth floor of formerly the Texas School Book Depository, where Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated the President on November 22, 1963.
I thought the museum was just about the assassination before I visited. However, it tells the big environment before and during JFK's presidency, the reason why JFK visited Texas, the moment during shooting, the investigation after shooting, and the influence of the assassination on the U.S. and the world.
One of the small details is the FBI model that used to investigate the JFK assassination. The FBI mimic the scene based on their evidence.
At that moment, photos and films were took. You can see the moment when JFK suffered the shooting. A comment for the photo is "Let's get out of here, we are hit." by agent Roy on 12:30 pm.
President JFK had a huge influence on the US culture. His name and stories were always discussed even after decades.
