'A re-imagining': At last, Truman Library to reopen. Sneak peek at the $29M makeover Canwen Xu, The Kansas City Star Jun. 28—The last time the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum was renovated — almost 20 years ago — Instagram, Facebook and TikTok didn't even exist. But now the museum has a special area that's picture-perfect for social media: a giant photo of the 33rd president for visitors to pose with. Nearby, signs shaped like quote bubbles contain some of Truman's famous sayings, such as "The Truth is all I want for History" and "Not all readers become leaders. But all leaders must be readers."
