A New Day For LBJ

Our Redesign Is Complete!

The new exhibits opened to the public on December 22, on what would have been Lady Bird Johnson's 100^th birthday. They feature many unique audiovisual components, new films and touch screen interactives, a database of telephone recordings, and a story-telling animatronic LBJ. Schedule a tour of the library.

A time-lapse video of the LBJ Presidential Library redesign

On December 22, 2012, the LBJ Library opened its doors to new exhibits for a new generation. This two-and-a-half minute video shows the day-to-day progress of the redesign as it happened, including the evening of our State Dinner Gala, when donors were invited for a preview of the exhibits.
