Obama Presidential Center holds opening ceremony

A reproduction of a letter addressed to then newly elected President Barack Obama from former President George W. Bush sits inside the recreated Oval Office within the new Barack Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.

Inside the replica Oval Office at Barack Obama’s new presidential museum, a handwritten letter from George W. Bush is prominently — and intentionally — displayed in the center drawer of the Resolute Desk.

“Very few have had the honor of knowing the responsibility you now feel,” Bush wrote on Jan. 20, 2009, the day Obama took office. “Very few know the excitement of the moment and the challenges you will face.”
