Currently, the LBJ Library’s temporary exhibit is Lady Bird: Beyond the Wildflowers, celebrating the life and legacy of Lady Bird Johnson, wife of the 36th president of the United States, Lyndon Baines Johnson.  It’s the first time the LBJ Library has curated a major exhibit about Lady Bird Johnson’s complete personal and political life.

Visitors can also explore our exhibit, The Lorax: Who Speaks for the Trees Now?, a family-friendly exhibit that looks at Dr. Seuss’s and Mrs. Johnson’s shared interest in environmentalism.  The exhibit features the original artwork from Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax (TM & © 2023 Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P. All rights reserved) and explains how and why he donated it to the LBJ Presidential Library and Museum.
