Visitors to "The People's House," an innovative exhibit created by the White House Historical Association in Washington, D.C., had the opportunity to engage with interactive displays that utilize cutting-edge technology and immersive storytelling to illuminate the history, architecture, and daily life within the White House.

Footage captured on Tuesday showcased attendees exploring a variety of exhibits, including a full-scale replica of the Oval Office and a 360° immersive projection of the State Floor.

"This makes me feel very American ...] Really a great place to be in right now with the way politics is so divisive," a visitor said.

The Oval Office replica invites guests to interact with authentic furnishings, each piece revealing personal stories and insights into the lives of former presidents.

Meanwhile, the immersive experience of the State Floor allows guests to virtually walk through historic rooms, featuring a vibrant mural of the Rose Garden, creating a comprehensive understanding of life within the White House.

"It kind of brings them down to earth and makes them more relatable,” added a second visitor. "People that are in there are serving the president, but the president is serving us."

Open year-round, the exhibit provides the public with a unique opportunity to connect with the White House’s past and its relevance today.

According to the official website, passes are available online, with visitors encouraged to book in advance to secure their entry.
