Absolutely inspiring!
I had been wanting to visit for a long time and was able to work it in on the way home from a trip up north. Right now you have to buy your ticket online ahead of time and only so many people are allowed in at once, which I loved as it wasn't too crowded. I only had to wait twice to see a particular exhibit. I knew a lot about Bush but still learned a few things and loved the visuals. Actually seeing an exhibit for each of the hats he wore during his career was awe-inspiring! I walked around the pond and over to pay my respects at the graveside. In all, I was there two hours (and could have spent a lot more time). The emphasis on public service was notable.

beautiful tribute to George and Barbara
We spent 4 hours here because there was so much to see in this large, beautiful, very well organized and very well appointed space. We started by admiring the sculptures outside and walking the path around the pond out back leading to their gravesites, which was a very moving surprise as we had no idea beforehand they were buried there until we discovered it in our online research for this trip. The exhibits were so well done that we were so fascinated and in awe and not at all bored at any point. We especially appreciated the intimate stories and artifacts from his service as a young man in WWII. Bravo to the GHW Bush Library.
