From 26 January to 12 May 2019 the Nederlands Fotomuseum will present the exhibition Robert F. Kennedy Funeral Train – The People’s View. For this project, artist Rein Jelle Terpstra has created a visual reconstruction of the ‘funeral train’ – the train that, on 8 June 1968, transported the mortal remains of the murdered politician Robert F. Kennedy from New York to Washington D.C.  from the point of view of people who lined the track to pay their last respects.
