Presidential Libraries in the U.S.

With the recent openings of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago and the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota, there has been a lot of talk about this rare building type. They function more as archives and museums than lending institutions, but they’re nonetheless considered libraries by the National Archives & Records Administration (NARA). Of the ones you’ve visited or seen, which do you think most accurately represent their subject (architecturally, through the exhibitions, or otherwise)?
