Barack Obama is facing backlash for his $850 million presidential library in Chicago that will feature a basketball court, large art installations and a museum.
Scheduled to open in 2026, the Obama Presidential Center consists of several buildings sprawled across a 19.3 acre campus within Chicago’s historic Jackson Park.
The main sites at the center include a towering grey monolith-like museum building, the forum auditorium, a branch of the Chicago public library, a garden pavilion and the home court – an NBA-size basketball court.
