There is a new way to look at the darkest day in Dallas' history.
As part of their special exhibition, the Sixth Floor Museum in Dealey Plaza has added a photo overlay over a popular window inside the old Texas School Book Depository.
The museum's Director of Curatorial Stephen Fagin says it is an idea they wanted to present as part of their exhibition they launched this year.
"We have added, as an overlay, a crime scene photograph taken by the Dallas police the day of the assassination so you can essentially look through that crime scene image and see the modern landscape of Dealey Plaza below," Fagin said.
The actual sniper's nest on the sixth floor of the former Texas School Book Depository has long been blocked off. This overlay is directly above on the building's seventh floor which also houses the museum.
"For the first time, we wanted to make that window part of the narrative arc of this exhibit," Fagin said. "That emerged as that crime scene photo."
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza has a special event this weekend that features their new 'On Assignment' exhibition looking at the assassination through the eyes of local journalists who covered it.
Saturday's event features former United Press International reporter Joe Carter who covered the assassination and its aftermath as it unfolded in November of 1963.
