LBJ Library

Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum is located on the University of Texas campus in Central Austin. The 14-acre building, located adjacent to the LBJ School of Public Affairs, was dedicated on May 22, 1971 with then-president Nixon and Lyndon B. Johnson in attendance.

The LBJ Library and Museum is home to permanent historical and cultural exhibits as well as many traveling exhibits. Permanent exhibits tell the story of the life and times of LBJ through historical artifacts, documents, photographs, and video. Exhibits include: America: 1908-1973, The White House, The First Lady's Gallery, General Exhibits, and Presidential Giveaways.

The museum features a diverse and fascinating collection of objects from clothing and report cards from the former president’s childhood to renowned works of art. It also features a large collection of gifts from all over the world, received by Johnson during his career. Much of the collection is comprised of personal objects owned, used, bought, or worn by the president and first lady.

The library also houses 45 million pages of historical documents, including the papers of LBJ and those of his close associates. One of its most interesting exhibits is a replica of the Oval Office that is decorated exactly as it was while Johnson was in office. The LBJ Library and Museum is open year round and is the only presidential library to offer free admission. It is located near many significant Austin attractions including the State Capitol and Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum and great Central Austin neighborhoods, including these great Central Austin homes.
