Excellent Library and exhibits
The George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum的点评
点评：We love visiting presidential libraries,, and were excited to add this one to the list. It is located in the downtown Dallas area, on the SMU campus. There is a designated parking lot, which is important because, as the case is on many college campuses, most of the lots require special permits. One thing I really liked about this library is that there are many very helpful docents throughout. One near the ticket desk shared with us the history of the three dimensional presidential seal that hangs from the ceiling directly over the ticket desk. It was originally commissioned to hang in a building owned by Trammel Crow, a very well known Dallas developer. Apparently, it is the only 3-D presidential seal in existence.
In the ticket lobby you also get to see many display cases of gifts given to the president during his term of office.
The library itself is very well laid out, following the timeline of his presidency. There was quite an interesting section devoted to his election, the hanging chads, and the Supreme Court involvement, that was hugely interesting. The section on 9/11 is very moving and well done. You get to also view the oval office as it was when he was in office. Another docent shared with us that the presidential seal on the front of the desk in the oval office has the eagle's head facing in the "incorrect" direction. The desk was created before a law was put in place design designating which way the eagle's head was to face.
In the oval office, you had the chance to sit behind the desk and take photos. The library also has a professional who will take a photo for you, that will be printed and waiting for you at the ticket desk to purchase. When you leave the oval office, be sure to exit the building and check out the replicated rose garden. A docent shared with us that George and Laura intend to be buried in this area when they pass.
At the end of the tour, don't miss the video created by their daughters, it is a humorous look at a more personal side of his personality. We enjoyed our visit to the library immensely. To be honest, I would say his father's library, and the Reagan library, were much better experiences, but overall, we were very happy with our visit.

翻译：我们喜欢参观总统图书馆，很高兴能把这个图书馆加入到我们的名单中。它位于达拉斯市中心的 SMU 校园内。有一个指定的停车场，这很重要，因为就像许多大学校园的情况一样，大多数停车场都需要特殊许可证。我非常喜欢这个图书馆的一点是，这里有许多非常乐于助人的讲解员。售票处附近的一位讲解员向我们分享了悬挂在售票处正上方天花板上的三维总统印章的历史。它最初是委托悬挂在达拉斯非常著名的开发商 Trammel Crow 拥有的一栋建筑中。显然，这是现存的唯一一枚 3D 总统印章。
在售票大厅，您还可以看到许多展示总统任期内收到的礼物的展示柜。
图书馆本身布局很好，按照他担任总统的时间线排列。有一个相当有趣的部分专门介绍他的当选、悬空选票和最高法院的参与，非常有趣。关于 9/11 的部分非常感人，做得非常好。您还可以看到乔治在任时的椭圆形办公室。另一位讲解员告诉我们，椭圆形办公室办公桌正面的总统印章上的鹰头朝向“错误”的方向。这张办公桌是在法律出台之前设计的，该法律规定了鹰头朝向哪个方向。
在椭圆形办公室，您有机会坐在桌子后面拍照。图书馆还有一位专业人士会为您拍照，然后打印出来，在售票处等您购买。离开椭圆形办公室时，一定要离开大楼，看看复制的玫瑰园。一位讲解员告诉我们，乔治和劳拉打算在他们去世后埋葬在这里。
在游览结束时，不要错过他们的女儿制作的视频，这是对他个性更私人一面的幽默展现。我们非常享受对图书馆的参观。老实说，我想说他父亲的图书馆和里根图书馆的体验要好得多，但总的来说，我们对我们的参观感到非常满意。
