He may no longer be the president but he is still the baby whisperer! No better spot to meet the next generation than the Obama Presidential Center.

On this World Architecture Day, we celebrate the form and function of this great third space here on Chicago’s South Side. We have loved seeing how visitors from across the country, down the street and all over the world bring these beautiful spaces to life.

Their campus masterplan was developed with Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Inc., landscape architect for the 19.3 acre site. Ralph Appelbaum Associates is the exhibit designer.

There’s nothing like a fall evening at the Obama Presidential Center.

Ten years ago today, President Obama spoke from the Rose Garden about the winding path of progress. Sometimes we lose an argument. Sometimes we lose an election. Then we learn, reflect, and get back in the arena.
His reminder still resonates: progress asks us to keep showing up and working with one another, even when the path isn’t a straight line.
As we look ahead to the 2026 Democracy Forum, “Powering Democracy with Trust,” we’ll explore how trust is built and repaired among people, communities, and institutions. Join us December 9 to 11 online and at the Obama Presidential Center.

When people come together, extraordinary things can happen. That’s what our work at the Obama Foundation and at the Obama Presidential Center is all about.
Every year, we work with changemakers between the ages of 24 to 45 across Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the United States who are making a difference in public service, the private sector, and civil society, and are looking to deepen their impact.
The Obama Leaders program brings together people with different viewpoints and helps them explore the challenges, opportunities, and skills needed to create positive change. Over eight months, we provide the tools and the community needed to turn a shared commitment into a lifetime of impact, grounded in values-based leadership. Leaders take part in weekly virtual group sessions, peer meetups, and individualized coaching. The goal is to broaden their perspectives and help them lead with strong, lasting values.
If that sounds like you, apply for our Obama Leaders program or share this opportunity with a friend. You can find the application link in bio. The priority deadline is November 23, and applications will be accepted until December 4.

No, this isn’t Fitzgerald Grant’s Oval Office. 👀
When Shonda Rhimes visited the Obama Presidential Center, she set the record straight.
Rhimes’ generous gift to the Obama Foundation helped make it possible to recreate President Obama’s Oval Office here on the South Side — giving visitors the chance to step inside, sit behind a replica of the Resolute Desk, and experience a piece of presidential history for themselves.
As for the Oval Office from Scandal? Shonda says she may have kept a few interesting pieces from that one. 😉

This Friday, we’re throwing it back to one of our favorite Election Nights…
@MichelleObama wore this @Narciso_Rodriguez dress to Chicago’s Grant Park on Election Night in 2008, to stand with her family on stage as @BarackObama accepted his election to President of the United States. She’s said she’s always loved this look, even though the debate about it would kick off years of commentary about her style.
The dress, on loan from NARA, Obama Presidential Library, is on display at the Obama Presidential Center Museum until early 2027. Then we’re rotating it out for preservation, and bringing in a new array of clothing and accessories.

Talent is ubiquitous. It’s opportunity that we have to create.
That idea is at the heart of The Obama Foundation’s leadership programs, as CEO Valerie Jarrett shares in this look at a recent Obama Leadership Network convening of Foundation program alumni from all over the United States, and the world, coming together around climate and environmental work. They met at the Obama Presidential Center to collaborate, exchange ideas and to support each other’s next steps.

We are happy to introduce our fourth and final group of international leaders joining the Obama Foundation USA Leaders cohort this year. These 50 changemakers are doing work that spans government, business, and civil society sectors, with a shared commitment of creating positive, sustainable change in their communities, regions and around the world.
Leaders include a board member from the Iowa Farmers Union in Algona, Iowa; a detective from Simi Valley, Calif.; and the founder of a Spanish-language newsroom from St. Joseph, Mo.
“These Leaders are already doing amazing work in their own communities,” said President Obama. “What we can offer is a place to sharpen their skills, an opportunity to meet people fighting the same fight, and the encouragement to keep going when it gets hard.”
Rooted in the leadership values of President and Michelle Obama, these 50 changemakers join a global cohort of almost 2,000 leaders committed to turning “hope into action.” Through the Foundation’s signature curriculum, Leaders learn to embrace broad perspectives, harness collective power, and drive lasting, meaningful progress.
We cannot wait to see what they do! Please wish them well in the comments!

The Obama Presidential Center is hosting a moment to reflect and connect before the Silver Room Block Party kicks off.
The Silver Room Symposium at the Obama Presidential Center is the start of a weekend of celebration on Chicago's South Side—bringing together artists, historians, and cultural leaders for an afternoon of conversation about history, archives, and what it means to be American today.
Founder Eric Williams says the timing feels significant: "How can we, for some, reclaim being an American in a way that recognizes the past but also understands that there's a lot that we as people have contributed to this country."
On July 17, expect two panel discussions, a special musical performance, and the kind of real conversation the Silver Room has always been known for. Williams calls the experience "a microcosm of a day at Silver Room," with music, art, and joy all in one room.
