The Obama Presidential Center is a new national landmark on Chicago’s South Side—bringing together community, leadership, and the power to create change.
“I’m asking you to believe. Not in my ability to bring about change — but in yours.” About us
A New Kind of Presidential Center
Opening on June 19, 2026 in Chicago’s historic Jackson Park, the Obama Presidential Center is more than a museum—it’s a place to gather, learn, and take action.
