Former President Bill Clinton (left) reaches over to former President George W. Bush, as he makes comments during a discussion July 13 at the Presidential Leadership Scholars graduation ceremony at the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas.

• The Associated Press

The Clinton Presidential Center has been described varyingly as a bridge to the 21st Century and a very large double-wide trailer.

• Randy Moody

The George W. Bush presidential library has been described as dignified, but not overwhelming by the designing architect, Robert A.M. Stern.

• Randy Moody

An intimate photo of Bill and Hillary Clinton at rest after a very long day in 1992 is part of a large display of presidential campaign remembrances.

• Randy Moody

Larger than life statutes of Presidents 41 and 43 stand in the middle courtyard of the Bush library.

• Randy Moody

Eight panels portraying significant world and national events that occurred during the Clinton presidency are aligned down the central corridor of the museum.

• Randy Moody

Bush painted portraits of military personnel wounded during the Iraqi conflict and many are displayed in the special exhibit space at the Bush library.

• Randy Moody

The Clinton Presidential Park Bridge, once a railroad bridge spanning the Arkansas River, is now a pedestrian walkway near the Clinton library and museum.

• Randy Moody

This display is one of many highlighting the challenges during the Bush years that are scattered through the library and museum.

RANDY MOODY For the Lincoln Journal Star

The George W. Bush and William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museums are 322½ miles apart between Dallas, Texas, and Little Rock, Arkansas. But they are much closer in content than in distance or style.
