Prez Obama will soon b going ho-o-o-ome

In a monumentally imaginative + somewhat heartwrenching graphic series, The Washington Post has started putting together a virtual museum honoring Barry O’s legacy: you can check out the first installment here.

Like damnnn bc we are going to miss this magnificent man, but also, the idea of a virtual museum as interactive, functional and beautiful as this one is so cool. Potential other use cases: eulogizing the recently deceased (RIP Prince), bringing brick-and-mortar museums better into the 21st century, and generally compiling recent history in a cogent, un-boring way, for starters. Got any other ideas?

H/T to my girl Irem Cesur for sending this along. Also, here’s a photo of Obama in the ocean. Happy Friday!
