Renderings for Donald Trump's presidential library in Florida have been released, showcasing a large glass building with a Trump-branded exterior and amenities like a replica of Air Force One and an Oval Office. The library will be located on a group of vacant lots in downtown Miami that were donated to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation.

Why it matters

The establishment of a presidential library is a significant milestone that honors a president's legacy and provides a repository for their administration's historical records and artifacts. The choice of Miami as the location reflects Trump's close ties to Florida, where he has maintained a residence at Mar-a-Lago since the 1980s.

The details

The renderings, released by Eric Trump, show a towering glass building with the Trump name in lights at the top, an American flag, and a golden entranceway. The building will house a replica of Air Force One, a ballroom, a replica of the Oval Office, and a theater with a gold statue of Trump. However, the renderings do not depict typical library features like meeting rooms or bookshelves.

  • The renderings were released on March 30, 2026.
  • The Miami-Dade College board of trustees voted on December 2 to donate the land for the library.
