Rockwell’s Secret White House Sketches

For the first time ever, four iconic Norman Rockwell sketches titled “So You Want to See the President!” are going on public display—once seen by every U.S. president from Carter to Trump. Acquired for over $7 million by the White House Historical Association to prevent their disappearance into private hands, these WWII-era artworks depict ordinary Americans waiting to meet FDR. Originally gifted to Roosevelt’s press secretary, they were saved from a family dispute and now offer a rare glimpse into White House life during a pivotal era, enhanced by digital tech that animates Rockwell’s characters. The exhibit runs until June 27, 2027, at the association’s education center near the White House—with plans still being considered for their future home.
