LBJ Presidential Library and Museum Prices & Admission

"I do not know how this period will be regarded in years to come. But that is not the point," Lyndon Baines Johnson said during the dedication of the LBJ Presidential Library and Museum. "This Library will show the facts … not just the joy and triumphs, but the sorrow and failures, too."

What the Johnson administration got right and what it got wrong is on full display at the LBJ Presidential Library and Museum. Four floors of glass-enclosed, red archival boxes, each embellished with a gold seal, remind visitors why the LBJ Library and Museum exists in Austin, Texas.

The LBJ Library and Museum holds and shares invaluable pieces of history. Through the museum's permanent and temporary exhibits, you'll hear the story of a president whose vision of a Great Society transformed the nation. The museum also addresses the Vietnam War and gives visitors an uncensored look at the challenges LBJ faced at home and abroad.
