LBJ Presidential Library
About This Museum
Stepping into the LBJ Library feels like walking right into the 1960s. The story of Lyndon Baines Johnson isn't just told through dry text; it's a visceral experience of an era defined by monumental social change and profound conflict. You're surrounded by his voice, his political battles, and his personal quirks all at once. It’s less a quiet hall of relics and more a vibrant, sometimes chaotic, conversation with history.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the jaw-dropping, seven-eighths scale replica of the Oval Office, exactly as he left it. The exhibits on the Great Society legislation make you feel the weight and hope of that ambitious agenda, while a somber phone on the wall captures the moment he learned JFK was shot.
Visitor Information
It's right there on the UT Austin campus, so easy to find. Give yourself a good two to three hours to really take it all in without rushing.
Architecture & Building
The building is this massive, stark white travertine marble box that feels both imposing and grand, a real statement piece from its time.
