A special temporary exhibit in 2024.
Penn-Colombo Gallery Exhibit: “We Remember John F. Kennedy, Jr.”
Born two weeks after his father was elected President of the United States, John F. Kennedy Jr. grew up in the spotlight. At Hyannis Port on Cape Cod, at the White House during his father’s presidency and years later in Manhattan, JFK Jr. captivated the world.
John, his wife and her sister all died in a plane crash off Cape Cod on July 16, 1999. As his beloved uncle Ted Kennedy said at his funeral “From the first day of his life, John seemed to belong not only to our family, but to the American Family.”
John also belonged to the Cape Cod family. It was here that he enchanted us as a little boy and later beguiled us as an adult visiting the family home in Hannis Port. He felt comfortable walking down Main Street, Hyannis and sometimes visited here at the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum.
Set in thematic arrangements, “We Remember JFK Jr.” features extraordinary images (some seldom seen) of John Jr. alone, or with his father, mother, sister and wife. Through video, photographs, quotes, text and artifacts, this commemorative exhibit invites visitors to remember John F. Kennedy Jr. who, like his father, had every gift but length of years.
