Clinton Presidential Center Opens Oval Office Exhibit to Visitors, Announces Coca-Cola Exhibit for November
The fall lineup at the Clinton Presidential Center is looking like a hit for families and school field trips, too! In addition to the popular Dinosaurs Around the World exhibit currently on view, the Center has announced an upcoming exhibit on Coca-Cola, as well as an exciting change to their existing Oval Office exhibit.
If you've ever visited the Clinton Presidential Center, you've probably witnessed a curious kid who has tried to cross the velvet rope and explore the Oval Office exhibit. We can't blame them; we've always wanted to get a closer look at the full-scale reconstruction of the Commander in Chief's office, too. And beginning this Labor Day weekend, visitors to the museum can do just that!
Previously, museum-goers could peer at the Oval Office exhibit from the office's doors and windows. Now, the exhibit will be open to visitors to tour at no extra charge. The Oval Office exhibit features the important White House room and its furnishings as they appeared during the Clinton Administration. In addition to eyeing the room's details up close, visitors can have their picture taken by a professional photographer and the photos will be available for purchase.
And in November, the museum will unveil its 42nd temporary exhibit, Coca-Cola: An American Original, which celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Coca-Cola glass bottle:
"An American icon, the bottle’s contoured, fluid curves were created by the Root Glass Company of Terra Haute, Indiana. Coca-Cola: An American Original will bring together historic bottle "firsts," Pop Art by Andy Warhol, and a collection of Coca-Cola-related presidential artifacts. Additionally, the exhibit will showcase Coca-Cola-commissioned illustrations featuring Norman Rockwell paintings, Haddon Sundblom Santa Clauses, and works by other iconic artists."
Coca-Cola: An American Original will open Nov. 7. For more info about the Clinton Presidential Center, including hours and admission cost, visit ClintonPresidentialCenter.org.
