Library director Terri Garner said discussions have begun about how best to showcase Bill Clinton's pursuits since leaving office in January 2001. That could include displays about work done by the William J. Clinton Foundation, which focuses on HIV/AIDS prevention and environmental policy.

Then there's also the matter of his wife, Hillary, and her own political career in the years since.

"You have to be a little bit careful because this is a library about his presidency," Garner said. "However, there needs to be an aspect of the ongoing post-presidency as well."

Discussions on how to change the library remain in preliminary stages, Garner said. However, she acknowledged it could involve changing everything.

"Usually within five to ten years of a permanent exhibit, you want to revamp it, you want to address it not in a small way, but sometimes it's a completely new design," Garner said. "We're at the very, very, very beginning stages. Realize, of course, there's a significant cost associated with it."

"Which section will the blue dress and cigar be in?"

Those articles will remain in the Massage Parlor section of the Library, in a display case right between the Clinton Bimbo Eruption Chronicles and the Arkancide Victim Photos ...

I interviewed at Forms+Surfaces and didn’t get the job.
A perfect place for someone else to work.

They also designed the Ronald Regan Building in DC.
Funny thing though, when you go on their web site, you have to dig to find the clintoon trailer, before it used to be front and center. I would be ashamed as well.

“The first thing they’ll send to the landfill is the impeachment exhibit.”

The Clintoon Library is a landfill.

The ugliest building ever built...

I don't know, I kind of find the trailer park influence very interesting.

What’s to discuss, just hang a picture of Monica in every secluded room over a sink.

I suspect Bubba wanted to make the European allies feel a little
better about all their butt-ugly modernist buildings.

What I do appreciate is the inclusion of the "Bridge To The
Twenty-First Century" exhibit to the left side of the building
as shown in that photograph.

It still looks like a big house trailer — perfect for Clinton’s library. Some things you cannot change and that is one of them.

The picture from the front of the bldg. looks even more like a trailer!!!!

You would expect it to have a hitch on the other end.
