I. M. Peiren hormigoi zurizko dorre garbia eta bederatzi solairuko beirazko pabiloia uretatik zuzenean goratzen dira Columbia Pointen, Dorchesterreko itsasertzeko barra haizetsuan. Barruan, museoak John F. Kennedyren lehendakaritzan barrena eramaten ditu bisitariak, ia ordena kronologikoan: 1960ko Richard Nixonen aurkako kanpaina eta telebistaz emandako lehen eztabaida, kargu-hartzea, Oval Office bulegoa HMS Resolute mahaiaren erreplika batekin, Kubako misilen krisia eta gizakia Ilargira eramateko lasterketa estatubatuarra. Galeriaren gainean, artxiboak 35. presidentearen paperak gordetzen ditu, Ernest Hemingway Collection bildumarekin batera. Bisita Pavilion izenekoan amaitzen da, Boston Harbor Islands uharteetara begira dagoen 115 oineko beirazko atrio zabalean.
