Случайно нашла ссылку на неофициальный виртуальный музей Белого Дома.
Там можно не только посмотреть комнаты, редко открываемые для посетителей, но и увидеть, как одна и та же комната менялась со временем.
Например Vermeil Room (позолоченная? да-да, это я искала значения слова vermeil :)

White House Museum, the unofficial virtual museum of the president’s residence

1.5 million visitors go through the real White House each year. But they see only a handful of rooms. Even special tours visit only a handful more. This online tour will take you through more than 140 areas in the grounds and mansion of the White House with photos and illustrations going back more than 200 years.
This Web site is a private, unofficial, online effort to provide a place to explore the history and heritage of the home of the president of the United States of America. It's not about politics or policy. You will not find information here about assassinations, adultery, or corruption. This site merely celebrates the architecture, history, and cultural significance of the White House in America and abroad.
