Berlin - The Kennedy Museum in Berlin is putting on an exhibition about US President Barack Obama, drawing parallels with his predecessor John F. Kennedy.

Around 50 exhibits are to be included in the exhibition, which carries the subtitle "On the tracks of the Kennedys?"

Many of the photos on display will be from the official White House photographer Pete Souza, who had accompanied Obama as a senator before his inauguration.

The photos of Obama, who's charisma and popular impact often draw comparisons to Kennedy, will be exhibited for the first time in Germany, from May 1 to August 2, at the museum by Berlin's Brandenburg Gate.
