LBJ Presidential Library
The LBJ Presidential Library and Museum‘s permanent exhibition tells the story of Lyndon Johnson’s life and career, from his childhood in the Texas Hill Country to his 32-year career in politics, which culminated in nearly five and a half years as our nation’s 36th president.
Johnson’s legislative achievements, featured in the exhibition, include the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968, Voting Rights Act of 1965, Medicare and Medicaid, Public Broadcasting, Food Stamps, Immigration, Education, Highway Safety, and many more.
The current temporary exhibition is Music America: Iconic Objects from America's Music History. On view through August 11, Music America is curated by the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music in association with the New Orleans Jazz Museum, Hard Rock International along with dozens of prominent collectors of American music ephemera.
