LBJ Presidential Library and Museum

Why go

The Oval Office recreation gives a physical frame to Johnson's presidency, while Lady Bird Johnson's office broadens the focus beyond the president alone. The museum's interpretation draws on the larger purpose of a presidential library: preserving documents and objects that allow a political life to be examined in detail.

What to look for

• The tenth floor includes an Oval Office recreation and Lady Bird Johnson's office.
• An animatronic LBJ appears on the third floor.
• The library was dedicated in 1971 with Johnson and President Richard Nixon present.

Useful to know

• Allow extra time if you add a special exhibition to the main museum.
• Distinguish this Austin museum from the Johnson ranch near Johnson City when planning your route.
