About this place

The Barack Obama Presidential Center is the visitor-facing destination connected to the Obama presidency, located in Chicago’s historic Jackson Park on the South Side. The campus presents Obama’s public life, Chicago roots, presidency, and civic-engagement mission through a museum, public spaces, and community programming.

Trivia

The NARA-administered Obama Presidential Library is the first fully digital presidential library, while the physical Presidential Center is privately operated by the Obama Foundation and partners with NARA for presidential records and artifacts.

Visiting tips

Museum entry is by timed ticket, while campus grounds have broader public hours. Check ticket availability before visiting, especially during the Center’s opening period.
