NextImg:Historic Resolute Desk and Churchill bust featured in replica of Trump’s Oval Office

Don’t miss the full story, whose reporting from Darlene Superville at The Associated Press is the basis of this AI-assisted article.

The White House Historical Association has updated its replica Oval Office display to match President Trump’s first-term decor, with plans to incorporate his current gilded redesign next year. Here are some highlights:

• The replica Oval Office at “The People’s House: A White House Experience” educational center has been redesigned to match Trump’s first-term office, featuring a beige Reagan-era rug, gold Clinton-era draperies and floral wallpaper.



• The mock Oval Office serves as a living space that evolves with each presidency, allowing regular visitors to experience what few people ever see in person due to security restrictions at the real White House.

• Trump’s office design includes the historic Resolute Desk made from HMS Resolute wood, a large George Washington portrait above the fireplace and busts of Martin Luther King Jr. and Winston Churchill flanking the fireplace.

• The association is currently working to reproduce items from Trump’s second-term office, which features additional gilding, artwork and other decorative objects beyond his first-term design.

• The process of creating exact replicas takes significant time, with Stewart McLaurin, president of the White House Historical Association, preferring to wait for a “critical mass” of items rather than updating piece by piece, expecting the transition to be complete in about a year. He led The Associated Press on a recent tour of the replica as it was being revamped. The association is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization.

• Items from the Biden replica will be donated to his foundation for potential use in his future presidential library, continuing the association’s practice of preserving presidential office reproductions for historical purposes.
