The building itself is a boring block of gray rock. In the 1960's it was a very modern and chic view of the future. But belying the exterior is a single wonder on the interior -- the archives. Four stories containing 1,500,000 documents the former president collected while in office.

"I hope that visitors who come here will achieve a closer understanding of the Presidency, which affects their own lives greatly. I hope that those who shared in the history of this time will remember it and see it in perspective, and that the young people who come here will get a clearer comprehension of what this Nation tried to do in an eventful period of its history."

-Lyndon B. Johnson

It seems to be a fitting monument to L.B.J's Texas-Sized ego.
