"Lyndon Baines Johnson Oval Office Replica in the Presidential Library and Museum" by Catherine Sherman. The top floor of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum in Austin, Texas, features a 7/8ths scale replica of the Oval Office decorated as it was during Johnson's presidency, including the Johnson desk. The Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum, also known as the LBJ Presidential Library, is the presidential library and museum of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th president of the United States (19631969). It is located on the grounds of the University of Texas at Austin, and is one of 15 presidential libraries administered by the National Archives and Records Administration. The library houses 45 million documents, photographs, videos, and other historical records, including those of Johnson and his close associates and others. The library, adjacent to the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, is ten stories high and sits on a 14-acre campus. Although the library is on the grounds of UT Austin, it is federally run and independent from the university. The top floor of the library has a 7/8ths scale replica of the Oval Office decorated as it was during Johnson's presidency, including the Johnson desk. Another exhibit features an animatronic LBJ. The view of the Texas State Capitol from the library's terrace became one of the Capitol View Corridors protected under state and local law from obstruction by tall buildings in 1983. First Lady Lady Bird Johnson toured existing presidential libraries and university campuses to consult the design of the library.
