The Obama Presidential Center is set to open its doors soon, and it’s an exciting development!

The main museum tower of the Obama Presidential Center is intentionally designed to resemble four hands coming together in an upward motion. This design reflects President Obama’s themes of collaboration, civic participation, unity, collective action, and community strength.

It looks so solid and windowless

• The lack of windows is intentional: sunlight damages historical documents, textiles, and artifacts.
• The building’s granite exterior protects the presidential archives and museum materials.
• The tower rises 225 feet and includes the “Sky Room” at the top.

Multiple sources confirm the construction of the Center itself is funded entirely by private fundraising through the Obama Foundation. This includes donations from:

• philanthropists
• foundations
• private individuals
• major donors (e.g., Jeff Bezos, per reporting)

No municipal, state, or federal tax dollars are used for the building.
