The Library of Congress will display the Bible upon which Presidents Lincoln and Obama were sworn into office at a Lincoln bicentennial exhibit opening Feb. 12.

The exhibit, entitled “With Malice Toward None: The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Exhibition,” will include the Bible as an artifact of the 16th president, not of the 44th.

The exhibit will run through May 9 after traveling to five U.S. cities. It will first open in D.C. at the library’s Thomas Jefferson Building at 10 First Street S.E. from 5 to 9 p.m. on the 12th.
