Art in the White House Selected Works
by William Kloss
An act of Congress, passed in 1961, made objects belonging to the White House
part of its permanent collections and designated the
museum character of the State Rooms.
The care and the growth of the collections, previously left
somewhat to chance, were finally formalized. In the same year the Office of
the Curator was established. For the first time truly professional standards
were applied to the works in the collection. We have selected here some of
the pieces of the collection for you to view online.
