Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a… pic.twitter.com/eePltEe9Lp
Don't forget your identification though.

Also, if you want the free admission, you must bring several forms of identification.
To gain free admission, you need to show proof of residency. You mean someone's mere attestation of residency isn't sufficient? pic.twitter.com/USqB2dGf1U

Why can't they just take people's word for it. That's what they want to do at the voting booth.
We should all strive to love ourselves more than Barack Obama loves Barack Obama https://t.co/L3nS2yQhg8

Barack is a huge fan of Brack.

I’m glad this is appropriately dated and without energy, hopefully reflective of the state of Obama’s legacy https://t.co/KDEDrbjbXP

Ugly and meaningless. Dreary and dreadful.

Not a whole lot of fans out there, it seems.

Have fun at your ugly trashcan… the building perfectly represents your legacy. https://t.co/RtDFfLJnr4

Obama builds a library, a museum, a playground, and a public space.

Trump builds a ballroom for himself.
That contrast says everything. https://t.co/lHgeP5pG5F
Believe it or not, Trump can't take the ballroom with him when he leaves in 2 years. It will stay at the White House and be there for all the Presidents in the future. Please stop being so dumb.
Does it have an interactive map showing how many Afghan citizens were killed via drone strikes? https://t.co/cKJxzhtKot

What a fun experience that would be.
A monument to narcissism and mediocrity. https://t.co/NyWTMHgXHM

I think he was a very bad President anyway but come on, this building is objectively hideous. https://t.co/IYn3bGi3WN pic.twitter.com/LFwX6Fpydi

It's bad.
A Serious question: Aside from it's opening day, will Michelle Obama ever set foot in the Barack Obama Presidential Center?

I imagine her caring even less about this than the average person. https://t.co/1RHHZAyiTV
If they have events honoring her, she may show up.

Fitting.
