Sightseeing
I went to school at the University of Texas, and the library opened the year I graduated, or thereabouts, and yet I never visited this library until 2016, after I read the Pulitzer prize winning 4-part (soon to be 5-part) biography by Robert Caro. I love the magnificent three sides wall with portraits of all of the U.S Presidents and their spouses. And the travelogue winding walking tour of the 50s and 60s including loop playing videos which evoke every period of the times. Along with the obligatory (presidential library) re-creation of the oval office and living areas. And with an excellent gift shop!
