Museum Replica Recreates Trump’s Gold-Adorned Oval Office
A museum near the White House has changed its pretend Oval Office to look like President Donald Trump's current office.
The museum first opened the room in 2024.
It later changed the room to match Joe Biden's design, then updated it again for Trump's second term.
Workers made copies of decorations, vases and picture frames.
The room has 24 portraits, mirrors and a copy of the Declaration of Independence.
Visitors can sit in the chairs and behind a copy of the Resolute Desk.
The real office has some older furniture and decorations too.
