The Oval Office
Behind the Desk
About This Exhibit
Take a seat behind the Resolute Desk in this full-scale replica of the Oval Office, furnished with reproductions of the art, objects, and furniture that adorn the president’s office.
A media column in the center of the room magically transforms as visitors approach. Showing historic and contemporary images, the column provides visitors with a portal to significant moments in the Oval Office.
A Work in Progress
Our Oval Office replica aims to reflect changes as they occur from president to president. As part of our continued efforts to keep The People's House updated and make White House history accessible, our Oval Office exhibit underwent its first major transition in July 2025. Objects and decor from President Biden's presidency were changed to President Trump's first term in office over the course of one day while visitors looked on and witnessed living history.
