The sixth floor museum, located in downtown Dallas, was built to commemorate the assassination of former President Kennedy. It is called the sixth floor because three bullets from killer Lee Hanoi Oswald were fired from the sixth floor of the building that was once a textbook warehouse

The monument is designed to be suspended up and down, surrounded by four sides, and the interior of the monument is only a black marble, with the name Kennedy carved in platinum. The designer of the monument Philip Johnson 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;
