Former President Barack Obama is getting a little help from his friends in celebrating the opening of his presidential museum in Chicago. The guestlist for Thursday’s dedication ceremony includes Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Christina Aguilera, and Bono, along with former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

Obama Presidential Center

The Obama Presidential Center, which opens to the general public on Juneteenth, is expected to attract more than 1 million visitors annually. The center is located near where Obama lived and began his political career, and is adjacent to the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry in the lakefront park, and not far from the University of Chicago.

The campus includes a towering museum that covers the political and personal realms of the nation’s first Black president, while public spaces include a branch of the Chicago Public Library, a playground and athletic center, basketball courts, and a picnic area with grills.
