The Obama Presidential Center will open on June 19 in Chicago. Barack Obama chose his hometown for the project more than 10 years ago. The center has a museum, a new basketball court, a public library, and a playground.

The Obama Foundation is paying for the project with private donations. The cost is about $850 million, more than the first plan of $350 million. The museum tower is 225 feet tall, and the campus is nearly 20 acres.

About 1 million people may visit the free parts of the campus each year. The museum may get many visitors too. The public library will have about 25,000 book titles in a “Presidential Reading Room” chosen by the Obamas.

The center also shows 35 campaign buttons and 25 works of art from 30 artists. It also has 3 beehives in the gardens.
