西行阿里

The Sixth Floor Museum is located in downtown Dallas. It was built to commemorate the assassination of former US President Kennedy. It is called the &quot;Sixth Floor&quot; because the three bullets of the killer Lee Haney Oswald were fired from the sixth floor of this building, which was once a textbook warehouse.

John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza

The monument is designed to be suspended from top to bottom and enclosed in four directions. There is only one piece of black marble on the floor of the monument, on which Kennedy&#39;s name is carved in gold. Philip Johnson, the designer of the monument, successfully conveyed his respect for the president: &quot;a place of quiet refuge, an enclosed place of thought and contemplation separated from the city around, but near the sky and earth.&quot;

This art museum is quite large, with a very rich collection, and almost every piece is a fine product. I am most interested in the Asian and American Pavilions, where you can see many exquisite cultural relics and artworks.
