Touring Kennedys

The touring exhibition THE KENNEDYS is a modular system of self-contained themes. These can flexibly be accommodated to different exhibition spaces. The basic package includes a deep overview on the history of the Kennedy family. It can be complemented by further themes (e.g. »Political Campaigns,« »John F. Kennedy’s Visit to Berlin,« »The Famous Kennedy Myth«). THE KENNEDYS exhibition was designed by CAMERA WORK AG as an international touring museum providing maximum service for the borrowing institution. Therefore, the leasing agreement contains a comprehensive service package—a unique offer in the world of touring exhibitions.

Target Groups

The touring exhibition THE KENNEDYS offers the borrower multiple essential connecting factors for many generations of visitors: contemporary witnesses go on a journey through the eventful 1960s, school classes experience the start of the media age up-close and develop an understanding for the power of images. Art lovers are delighted by vintage photographs by icons such as Yousuf Karsh, Mark Shaw, and Jacques Lowe. The timelessly stylish presidential couple makes fashion fans’ hearts jump for joy. Historically interested visitors are enthusiastic about rare documents—precious memorabilia such as John F. Kennedy’s briefcase, which accompanied him throughout his life, let the »Royal Family« of the USA become more available. This diverse insight into the old America offers a stage for readings, panel discussions, and workshops to profitably promote the perception of the exhibition.
