George Bush Presidential Library & Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 10:55:58

Whether they agree with the former president's politics or not, Republic and and Democrats alike would have a hard time arguing this is anything but one darn fine museum. The well-curated exhibits trace the elder President Bush's life and career, and serve as an interesting primer on American history from WWII through the 1990s.

Follow the statesman’s rise from Texas oil prospector through his virtual tour of national politics: from Ambassador to the UN, to Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman, to CIA director, to the White House, to becoming the first American president to see his own offspring occupy the Oval Office. (Yes, that’s ‘Dubya,’ or America’s 43rd president, George W Bush.) Family moments, and Barbara Bush's contributions are also included. The story is told with compelling videos throughout, making the additional audio wand superfluous.
