Review:

After their time in the White House, the lives and achievements of U.S. Presidents are celebrated in the system of Presidential libraries of the National Archives and Records Administration. The Gerald R. Ford Museum opened in 1981. The core of the Museum is its permanent exhibit, which offers the highlights of President and Mrs. Ford’s lives. The permanent exhibit features an interactive video and holographic presentation that allows visitors to experience the illusion they are "participating" in history and travelling with President Ford to popular destinations throughout the world.

There is also a holographic tour of the White House as it was during Ford’s time and a light and sound show that describes a day in the Oval Office. The Watergate gallery with a multi-screen six-minute history is particularly interesting. The museum organizes frequent temporary exhibits, and it also hosts special events.
