JFK Hyannis Museum Presents: Paul Ryan’s 1960s Photo Exhibit

The John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum on Cape Cod has an exciting new exhibit entitled Paul Ryan’s 1960s, a collection from the acclaimed Boston photographer whose worked captured the zeitgeist of a generation. From Robert Kennedy skiing with family in Sun Valley to jazz legends Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk at the Monterey Jazz Festival, and from the Black Power movement to the peace movement, Ryan captured indelible moments in American history.

Born in Boston, Ryan graduated from Newton High School, then studied photography with Minor White, Ansel Adams, and W. Eugene Smith. He travelled the world for SKI magazine and Open Societies Foundation, photographing some of the most impactful thought-makers of the sixties and seventies.

Located at 397 Main Street in downtown Hyannis, the JFK Hyannis Museum pays homage to President Kennedy and his deep connection to Cape Cod, where he spent magical summers with his parents, siblings and cousins in his youth and later with his wife Jacqueline and children Caroline and John. Ongoing exhibits on display this summer include  “Presidential Summers: The Kennedys on Cape Cod” and “Robert F. Kennedy: Ripple of Hope.”
