Media Preview: The Bush Wall from SMU-TV on Vimeo.

Just days after the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, today SMU students, staff and faculty have the opportunity to tour the museum.

While last week’s festivities were invitation only, the doors will be opened today for a select amount of students who registered for a time to tour the presidential center. Within 24 hours of the tour registration being open, there were only two time slots left open.

Those who will be attending SMU Day today will be able to tour the museum, which features a exhibit dedicated to September 11th and an exact replica of the Oval Office.

“Students, faculty and staff who reserved tickets have the opportunity to see the museum, Freedom Hall and the gift shop,” SMU Vice President for Development and External Affairs Brad Cheves said.

Until today the only people to tour the exhibit were members of the Bush Center, and select members of the media, who were given a tour on April 24.

The Daily Campus had a chance to send a photographer into the center. Those photographs are available on smudailycampus.com and offer a look inside the museum to those who did not schedule a tour today.

The five presidents who were on hand for the April 25 dedication toured the museum just before the ceremony.

The Bush Center will open to the public Wednesday and SMU students, faculty and staff can enter for free with a valid SMU I.D.
