First Look Inside The Obama Presidential Center | TSR Investigates

The Obama team invited THESHADEROOM in — and we got all the receipts.

TSR Investigates’ Justin Carter got exclusive access to the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago ahead of its Juneteenth opening.

We’re talking panoramic views from the Sky Room, a full replica of the Oval Office (complete with Obama’s old Blackberry and a handwritten letter from George W. Bush), Michelle Obama’s most iconic dresses on display, and an 88-foot digital wall celebrating the first president to go fully digital with his archives.

We also sat down with Foundation CEO Valerie Jarrett, Communications VP Emily Bittner, and the building’s architect — and yes, Justin ate the buffalo chicken wrap from the restaurant. It was good.

The Obama Presidential Center opens on Juneteenth. Illinois residents get in free every Tuesday.
