In Short
Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the eight-story building has a basement-level auditorium, three museum levels and a lofty atrium with glass-walled stacks of Johnson's papers, housed in red leather boxes with gold seals. Free and open every day except Christmas (at Johnson's request), the museum covers L.B.J.'s life from his Hill Country birth to his retirement from the presidency. Also on display are gifts from heads of state, photos of the Johnson White House and L.B.J.'s 1968 Lincoln Continental.

The LBJ Library and Museum is very interesting, especially for history buffs. I learned a lot about LBJ I never knew. It covers more than just his time in office.

Look Good:
Don't miss the display on Johnson the humorist or the seven-eighths-size replica of the Oval Office, complete with three-screen TV console.
The Extras:
Next to the library and museum is Sid Richardson Hall, the home of the L.B.J. School of Public Affairs and UT's Latin American and American history libraries.
