Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum

Every Sunday, visitors can join a docent-guided tour (included with admission) of the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum’s permanent exhibition, which is divided into three sections: the Holocaust/Shoah Wing, the Human Rights Wing featuring information about the International Military Tribunal, and the Pivot to America Wing, which has interactive call-to-action kiosks and a memorial room. In Dimensions in Testimony, visitors can sit across from a hologram of a Holocaust survivor and ask questions about their life. Access to the special exhibition, Dimensions in Testimony, and the Voices of Courage survivor testimony film is included with admission.

The DART’s West End light rail station is located one block from the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum at Pacific Avenue, between Market and Lamar Streets. Several bus routes also stop near the museum. Rideshare services are readily available in Dallas, although most visitors prefer to rent a car to explore the sprawling city more easily.

The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum is open 10am to 5pm every day, except Tuesdays when it is closed. Check ahead if visiting close to major holidays as there may be closures. Because of the large number of student groups that visit during weekday mornings, plan your visit for after 1pm during the week or on weekends. The entrance to the museum's permanent exhibition closes at 4pm, but you can still visit the special exhibition gallery, store, and courtyard after then.

Not far from the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum, you’ll find the small green space that marks the spot where John F. Kennedy was fatally shot in 1963. Referred to as The Grassy Knoll, this historic location is a hill on the northside of Elm Street. Nearby is the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, which is located within the former Texas School Book Depository building, and chronicles the assassination and legacy of Kennedy through comprehensive exhibits.
