Welcome to the
WHITE HOUSE MUSEUM,
the unofficial virtual museum of the president’s residence
1.5 million visitors go through the real White House each year. But they see only a handful of rooms. Even special tours visit only a handful more.
This online tour will take you through more than 140 areas in the grounds and mansion of the White House with photos and illustrations going back more than 200 years.
