It houses eight years of the Clinton presidency and is nearly four times the length of a football field. From family pictures, one of Clinton's presidential limousines to dresses Hillary wore.

Museum designer Ralph Appelbaum says, "The president took an active interest in essentially selecting every single object, approving every object."

Appelbaum and his New York company have been working with Clinton since 1999 to make his library come alive.

He says, "There are letters throughout the exhibit where people wrote to him and where he followed up, where the real effects of policy came alive from him and I think for the public as well."

The library and archives contains 80 million pages of records and documents and nearly two million photographs. Appelbaum says it was Clinton's idea that the exhibits focus on the challenges, responses and results of being president.

"The alcoves such as restoring the economy, or making one world, really open up the exhibit in a set of themes," he explains.

Here visitors can relive history, not only world events, but Clinton's eight years in office.

"One of the things you'll notice is a set of books located at the base of every timeline and those are the president's day file," Appelbaum says. "Each and every day is available for the visitor to pick up and see what he did that day."

His full-blown schedule, Appelbaum says, was taken straight from the archives. On the backside of the timeline, there's this interactive. By selecting a month, date and year, Clinton's schedule appears.

One of the highlights of the museum is an exact replica of the Oval Office. Appelbaum says, "Everything you see here was sitting on the President's desk and his bookshelves on a day in August when we went in with our cameras and it was recreated beloving and preciously."

Appelbaum says it's the only full-scale reproduction of the Oval Office. There's also a replica of the cabinet room.

He says, "[There's an] interactive table top that reveals to some of the great events that happened around this table."

Visitors can sit in the chairs around that table and view information about each cabinet department on monitors.

"It quickly takes you into discussions, dialogues about welfare reform and the kinds of decisions that occurred around the table," Appelbaum says. "You can see the president's chair because it's the one chair that's a little higher than all the others."

The library and archives also houses 79,000 artifacts and gifts from celebrities, like a bike From Lance Armstrong, to ordinary citizens like you and me. There are also gifts from world and state leaders.

"Everything you see here is real, these are the state gifts, and you can see it's a beautiful array."

Appelbaum says Clinton acted both as editor in chief as well as curator in chief-and at times, he was the art director as well.

He says, for him, the unveiling will be extraordinary. He says it will reveal the story behind the story.

"It's extraordinary to see it real," he says. "We've been seeing it come together over these last weeks. It's really been extraordinary to see how people react to it."

The Clinton Library did not ignore some of the scandals surrounding Clinton during his presidency. There is a section on his impeachment, Whitewater and mentions of Monica Lewinsky.
