WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington is getting a new tourist stop that offers visitors the next best thing to being in the Oval Office: an identical replica of
White House Historical Association President Stewart McLaurin tour members of the media in a replica of the Oval Office as is today, shown at The People's House exhibit, Monday, Sept. 16, 2024 in Washington.
Few people ever set foot in the Oval Office. It is not on the White House public tour route. But at “The People’s House,” not only will visitors get to see what one of the most famous offices in the world looks like, they can experience it, too. “It is exactly like President Biden’s, exactly,” McLaurin said. “Even the family Bible with the weathered elements are duplicated.”
Another exhibit shows how presidents use the White House for work, family and social functions. Visitors can attend Cabinet meetings and vote on a course of action for the president, sit at a table set as it would be for a state dinner to learn how presidents use these glitzy events to conduct diplomacy, or settle into a seat in the family movie theater.
The back side of the model looks like a dollhouse, exposing cutaways of the ground, state and residence floor rooms. Visitors can tap electronic kiosks to learn more about the rooms. Jill Biden visited twice during construction and has planned an event on the White House lawn on Saturday to celebrate next week’s opening.
