About LBJ Presidential Library
The Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library, for the U.S. president from 1963 to 1969, is on the University of Texas campus in Austin, in a travertine building of clean lines opened in 1971.
The museum tells Johnson’s life—he was born in the Texas Hill Country—and his administration, marked by civil rights and voting laws, Great Society social programs and the Vietnam War. There are documents, photographs, recordings of presidential phone calls and a reduced-scale replica of the Oval Office.
The archival collections, with millions of pages, occupy the upper floors and are visible through the glass wall of the main hall.
