Clinton Presidential Center

The Clinton Presidential Center is a riverfront presidential library and museum in Little Rock, Arkansas, that also houses offices associated with the William J. Clinton Foundation. The center opened in 2004 and serves as the official archival repository for the Clinton presidency.

The site includes a museum with exhibitions about the Clinton administration and a separate archival library containing presidential records and research facilities. The campus also contains foundation offices, event spaces and public plazas on the Arkansas Riverfront, and it is commonly visited for both the museum displays and public programming.

Developed in the early 2000s as the presidential library for William J. Clinton, the center consolidated archival materials, museum exhibits and foundation activities on a purpose-built riverfront site. Since opening in 2004 it has hosted rotating exhibitions and public events connected to the foundation and the library’s collections.

The center is located on the south bank of the Arkansas River in downtown Little Rock, within the city’s riverfront redevelopment area and close to the River Market district and central Little Rock amenities.

• Architect and opening year: Designed by architect Moshe Safdie and opened to the public in 2004, the center sits on Little Rock's riverfront as a combined library, museum and foundation campus.
