George W. Bush
Presidential Center
Nestled in the serene, parklike campus of Southern Methodist
University, the long-in-the-works
George W. Bush Presidential
Library and Museum finally opens
its doors to the public. And its collection is stunning: 70 million pages of
paper records, 43,000 artifacts, 200
million emails, and 4 million digital
photographs tell the story of the 43rd
President of the United States. Visitors approaching the space’s grand
entrance—dubbed Freedom Hall—
will be greeted by a 360-degree,
20-foot tall hi-def video board, which
orients history buffs to the museum’s
many exhibits. Among them are a
full-size replica of the Oval Office
and objects significant to Bush’s
8-year presidency, including a piece
of steel from the World Trade Center.
Outside, the Texas Rose Garden and
some 15 acres of green space filled
with native prairie grasses frame the
library’s view of the Dallas skyline.
If that doesn’t leave you feeling presidential enough, an on-site gift shop
helps you to find your fix of Dubyathemed memorabilia. And Café 43
serves a First Lady–approved lunch
menu that’s sure to satisfy your inner
politico. From $10; bushcenter.org
