The museum collection at the Clinton Presidential Library includes over 100,000 three-dimensional objects and works of art. The collection consists of gifts to President Clinton and his family, including those presented to President Clinton by foreign heads of state and gifts he received from regular citizens in the United States and around the world. It also includes objects collected by the museum since President Clinton left office, including those related to his life and presidency and items from his campaigns for president. The archives at the Clinton Presidential Library includes approximately 78 million pages of official records, 20 million emails, 2.6 million photographs, 12,400 videotapes, and over 5,900 audio recordings documenting the life and career of the 42nd president of the United States. Due to exhibit size limitations, many of these objects and documents will never be on display. Some of these treasures are highlighted below. We will periodically rotate the selection in order to share more of the collection with the public.
