This exhibit takes you from the East Wing to the West Wing, through landmark moments in history to the White House as it is today, in grand dimensions and true-to-life scale. The centerpiece of the exhibit is a meticulously detailed, 60-by-13 foot, 1:12 scale replica of the White House. Like the home that inspired it, this exhibit offers an awe-inspiring experience for the young and young-at-heart.
