ChristinaDecember 21, 2016Loved the museum! The LBJ phone recordings are a great addition and really give insight into the man he was. Definitely a must do if you want to learn more about him and his presidency!
DeebeeJune 26, 2016This museum used to be free but now charges a small fee. $8 for adults and $5 for senior citizens. It was worth the price of the tickets to learn so much about our history.
Andrew CJune 3, 2019One rotating exhibit near the entrance... then huge sections on overview of LBJ + more in-depth areas upstairs about his policies and impact!!! ~2 hours to explore the whole place, well worth it!!
Josh AJanuary 5, 2017Must do stop for Austinites and highly recommend for tourists. Al about LBJ but usually some cool temporary exhibit. Don't be afraid to learn something!

The Library is undergoing renovations until December, not a lot to see right now.
