From the mug shots police took of Lee Harvey Oswald to the homicide report for the president he was accused of killing, a collection of rarely seen artefacts related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy has gone on display at Dallas City Hall.

City archivist John Slate says most of the collection has never been publicly displayed.

The exhibition will run until December 9.

Also on display are the fingerprints police took from Oswald after his arrest, in addition to the mugshots and fingerprints of Jack Ruby, who shot Oswald to death. (AP)
