Opening tomorrow: A new interactive White House experience — located a block away from the actual Executive Mansion — uses tech to create an immersive experience so visitors feel like they're actually walking through 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Axios D.C.'s Mimi Montgomery writes.
👀 The People's House, as the experience from the White House Historical Association is called, includes:
- A full-scale replica of the Oval Office, where visitors can sit behind the Resolute Desk for selfies.
- Immersive set-ups that let you sit in on a cabinet meeting and take you through the State Dining Room and Rose Garden.
- Interactive portraits of White House staff, including cooks and ushers, that tell their stories.
The People's House will be open seven days a week, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET
- Galleries and exhibits are free, with a suggested donation of $15. Timed passes are available online.
