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.

Interesting History

by klcurt

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.

  • Pros: free, clean, easy to navigate
