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 hidden in the West Wing for 40 years. Created during WWII, they capture everyday Americans waiting to meet FDR, including senators, soldiers, journalists, and even Miss America. The White House Historical Association paid over $7 million to secure them after a family dispute, ensuring they won’t vanish into private hands. Viewable until June 2027 at their education center near the White House, these powerful portraits offer a rare window into presidential life and the spirit of a nation at war. Their future home? Possibly touring museums—or back at the White House. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
