DALLAS (AP) -- A tour of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum begins in a bright area representing his early domestic agenda, but with one turn, visitors find themselves in a darkened room surrounded by chilling reminders of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

This contrast, symbolizing Bush's abrupt shift in priorities less than eight months into his first term, is among the most poignant exhibits at a museum being dedicated this week that also chronicles the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, the Florida recount and various other historical events.


Bush told The Associated Press last week that he wanted to make sure the part of the museum devoted to 9/11 was powerful enough to remind visitors of how much the world changed that day.

My daughter works directly across the freeway from the Bush Library, and Merrill Lynch decided to shut the building down for 2 days, leaving only one entrance open - guarded. Today's her birthday, so 2 days off is a real treat to her.

Robin - your post does not respond to my comment. To me, a native Texan, it is offensive. Didn't your mother teach you that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all?

Most of these Presidential Libraries is pretty boring inside.

But in this case, if it has a lot of displays on 911, then it might be ok and interesting.
The other nice thing about a lot of the US government museums is that there is usually no entrance fee.
Most of the museums in DC are free!! Great place to visit as well.
