HYANNIS – The John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum hosted a special visitor recently.

Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Robert F. Kennedy, came to see the exhibit, “Jack and Bobby: Brothers First,” about her late husband and his relationship with his brother.

Ethel Kennedy, along with her daughter Rory Kennedy and other children and grandchildren, came to the museum for a reception last month prior to the showing of Rory Kennedy’s documentary film, “Last Days in Vietnam.”

JFK Hyannis Museum Executive Director John Allen said it was the first time Ethel Kennedy had the opportunity to see the special exhibit “Jack and Bobby: Brothers First,” and she walked through the exhibit with her family viewing and commenting on a number of the photos.

“We had several generations of the Kennedys here who had an opportunity to get close to an exhibit we had been talking to them about. Like anyone, you wonder what people think about what you’re showing when it’s about them and their family. It was just a very special treat to observe the tour of the exhibit and to engage in different images that she stopped to take a look at,” he said.

After touring the exhibit, Allen said, Ethel Kennedy commented about the exhibit, “It’s perfect.”

The exhibit with more than 80 photos will remain in place until the end of the year.
