temporary exhibit gallery, which we are featuring the "60 from the 60's" exhibit. within the exhibit itself, as the title suggests, we highlight 60 americans who had a great impact on the nation. and they are still relevant within the 21st century. some of these people are bob dylan, president lyndon johnson, barbra streisand. we have science. we highlight the apollo 11 crew. the first landing on the face of the moon. we highlight marshall nuremberg, who not only cracked the genetic code back in the 1960's, but also won the nobel prize for his work. charles schultz, one of my favorite parts of the exhibit. we were lucky enough to get two of his original sunday comics. and a pair of his skates that illustrates that he was a lifelong amateur hockey fan. that is something we try to do

during her time in the white house and afterward, championed this movement when she promoted programs like highway beautification. she started the lady bird johnson wildflower center here in austin and other environmental-type programs. >> ladies and gentelemen, the beatles! >> ♪ oh, yeah i will tell you something i think you will understand when i say that something i wanna hold your hand ♪ >> music was a very large part of the 1960's. in fact, a lot of 60's music is still being played on modern radio. in partnership with the grammy museum, we have both the
