The Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum is located on the campus of The University of Texas (UT) at Austin. The museum provides year-round public viewing of its permanent historical and cultural exhibits and its many traveling exhibits. It is one of eleven presidential libraries administered by the National Archives and Records Administration. It is also the most visited Presidential Library in the country and the only one not to charge any entrance fee.

The library houses 40 million pages of historical documents which include the papers from the entire public career of Lyndon Baines Johnson and also from those of close associates. The library was dedicated on May 22, 1971, with Johnson and then-President Richard Nixon in attendance.

Other nearby sights include the UT Football Stadium and the UT Tower.
