John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, designed by architect I.M. Pei and dedicated in 1979, houses archival materials, exhibits, and educational programs related to the life and presidency of John F. Kennedy. Located on Columbia Point, the library is both a research institution and a public museum that hosts rotating exhibitions, lectures, and civic events connected to the region's political and cultural history. Its waterfront site and modernist architecture make it a visible cultural landmark in Boston.
