This cutting-edge educational museum experience tells the story of the White House, its inhabitants, and the people who have dedicated their careers to its functions. ​

“It is an innovative, immersive, and educational journey – one that transports visitors to different chapters intime” said former First Lady Jill Biden. She continued “at its core, this project is about education – teaching our students about our country’s origins, bringing to life the countless people who shaped it and who made the White House into the beating heart of our democracy.”​

​

Located just steps away from the real Executive Mansion in Washington, this 3,000 m² space features exact replicas of the White House’s fifteen key rooms, including the iconic Oval Office. ​

Visitors can engage with a large-scale model of the White House, a recreation of the Rose Garden, immersive re-enactments of the White House's pivotal moments, and other galleries featuring connected objects, touchscreens, and scenic projections.​

World renowned exhibit design firm, Ralph Appelbaum Associates, designed The People’s House: A White House Experience and led the project.  Chargeurs Museum Studio’s U.S. subsidiary, D&P, worked under RAA to fabricate the exhibits and bring RAA’s cutting edge designs to life. Another CMS subsidiary, Leach, partnered with D&P to complete many of the graphic elements on this project as well. The People’s House showcases D&P’s ability to combine cutting-edge technology with the preservation and promotion of historical heritage.
