Tickets to visit the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago’s Jackson Park go on sale at 9 a.m. May 6, ahead of its planned opening to the public on June 19.
According to an announcement on Tuesday from the Obama Foundation, tickets will be available for admission through Nov. 30 at www.obama.org/visit/museum-
Entry to the Museum at the Obama Center is timed; tickets will be nonrefundable and will be safeguarded against reselling for anything other than personal use.
