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.
Step into the tumultuous world of March 1968 with our latest temporary exhibition, Ain’t No Daylight in Vietnam: March 1968. This compelling exhibition offers an in-depth exploration of the Vietnam War by focusing on the pivotal month of March 1968, providing a nuanced perspective of the conflict through the eyes of those who experienced it first-hand. Drawing from a rich collection of photographs, letters, and personal accounts, Ain’t No Daylight in Vietnam immerses visitors in the intense realities faced by soldiers, medics, and civilians. The exhibition captures the harrowing experiences of combat, the emotional toll of the war, and the political and social reverberations of this critical period in American history. Ends August 10, 2025.
