Google Arts & Culture is a treasure trove of art, history, and cultural tours that are not only useful for people who are social distancing due to the coronavirus outbreak, but they're also interesting at any time. This site allows you to view some of the world's most famous artworks by taking virtual tours of hundreds of museums . Enjoy a nature walk in a national park . Or, you can even take a royal tour of some of the most historic castles in the world.

The White House is a particularly unique tour because it is actually the only " private residence of a head of state that is open to the public, free of charge," according to Google Arts & Culture.

The Executive office building tour , which is accessible via Street View, shows you many rooms in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building beyond the Oval Office, including the Vice President's Ceremonial Office, the Secretary of War suite, and the library. You can also view the historical artwork (including official portraits of the former heads of state, pottery, and sculptures on display) in the White House and see its unique decor. On top of this being a visually-stimulating tour, it also offers history and interesting facts about everything you can see.

Street View makes it possible to explore the interiors and exteriors of the White House as well. Once you're done perusing the historic offices, you can find how it feels to virtually be standing on the White House lawn.

The White House and Google launch a new virtual tour with audio captions, Spanish translation

WASHINGTON (AP) — Can’t come to Washington? Couldn’t get a ticket to tour the White House? Don’t worry.

The White House, Google Maps and Google Arts & Culture launched a new virtual tour of the famous mansion on Friday, which is also National Civics Day.

With a computer or smartphone, users will be able to spend time zooming in on all of the rooms that they would have seen had they been able to go on an in-person tour.

The updated virtual tour is part of a desire by first lady Jill Biden to make the White House accessible to as many people as possible. Biden, a longtime community college professor, hopes teachers use it to educate students about the White House and its history, said Elizabeth Alexander, her spokesperson.

“Not everyone can make the trip to Washington, D.C., to tour the White House, so she’s bringing the White House to them,” Alexander said.

Biden traveled to Philadelphia on Friday for a National Civics Day event hosted by Nickelodeon, ATTN: and iCivics, where they announced “Well Versed,” a new short-form series that uses animation and music to help teach children about democracy and the Bill of Rights.

She talked about the Constitutional Convention held at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall in 1787, where the founders of the United States created a government in which power rested with the people, not with kings and queens.

“That’s still how our country works, and it’s one of the things that make it so special,” Biden said. “And when we understand civics, how our government works and how to hold it accountable, we are able to help each other and make our country the best it can be.”

The virtual tour is the first Google virtual tour of the White House to include audio captions for people with disabilities. The captions are narrated by White House social secretary Carlos Elizondo and pop up on the screen to offer viewers historical information on each of the rooms.

It is also Google’s first virtual tour of the White House to have Spanish translation, and feature the official portraits of former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama.

The tour opens with a brief video of President Joe Biden and the first lady welcoming visitors, the same message that plays at the White House Visitors Center for those who visit in person.

Google Street View technology was used to capture the imagery, starting at the East Wing Entrance and moving through all rooms on the public tour route, including the library, the China Room, the Green, Blue and Red rooms, the East Room and the State Dining Room.

The tour was created using Google Arts & Culture’s storytelling tool.

Ben Gomes, senior vice president of learning and sustainability at Google, said the mission of its arts and culture division is to open the world’s culture to people everywhere.

The tour is available on the White House website, as well as on Google Maps and the Google Arts & Culture page.

Welcome to the White House

Washington d.c., the white house.

A message from President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden

The East Wing Entrance

The East Wing was built in 1902 and since that time has been the entrance to the White House for visitors and guests. The building was enlarged in 1942 to its current size to provide office space.

The East Wing Colonnade & The Jacqueline Kennedy Garden

The garden, seen through the windows, was named the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden in 1965. Designed with ornamental hedges and seasonal flowers, this space can be used for informal entertaining.

The Jacqueline Kennedy Garden

The family theater.

This space was created in 1902 when the East Wing was added to the White House. Originally used as a cloakroom, it was converted into a movie theater in July 1942. The current décor, dating from 2004-2005, was inspired by theater interiors of the early 20th century.

The Vermeil Room

Once a billiard room, this room now displays selections from a collection of European and American gilded silver (called vermeil in French) received by the White House in 1958.

Several pieces of the 1,575-piece collection of vermeil are on view throughout the House and include examples of work by the most prominent English and French silversmiths working in the 18th and 19th centuries. Portraits of 20th century first ladies are also displayed here.

The Library

The Library now holds over 2,700 books on American history, culture, politics and philosophy. Originally a laundry room, in 1902, it was transformed into a gentleman's waiting room. Later, in 1935, it became a library and remains a frequent location for media tapings today.

Most of the Federal furnishings were made in New York, 1800-1820. Above the mantel is a 1930 painting by Georgia O’Keeffe entitled, Mountain at Bear Lake – Taos , showing a sacred spot on the Taos Pueblo in New Mexico.

The China Room

The China Room has been an exhibition space for tableware since 1916. Not every president has ordered state china, so both official and some family services are exhibited. The 1918 Woodrow Wilson state service was the first White House service made in the United States.

The 1924 portrait of First Lady Grace Coolidge by Howard Chandler Christy features her white collie Rob Roy.

The East Room

The chandeliers, light standards, drapery, cornices, and benches are original to the changes of 1902. The neoclassical wall paneling, also introduced in 1902, was re-created during President Harry S. Truman’s renovation, 1948-1952. The mantels and mirrors were also added in 1952.

This portrait of George Washington, painted by Gilbert Stuart in 1797, was installed in the White House in 1800. It is the only object in the collection to remain at the House since it was first occupied.

The largest room in the White House, the East Room has been the scene of state dinners, receptions, concerts, weddings, and press conferences. Here the bodies of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy have lain in state after their assassinations.

The Green Room

From 1801-1809, Thomas Jefferson used this room as a dining room. It became a formal parlor during James Madison’s presidency. By 1825 under John Quincy Adams, this room was known as the “Green Drawing Room,” named for the color of the fabrics.

The Federal-style furniture was made between 1800 and 1815. French artist Theobald Chartran painted the portrait of Edith Roosevelt, located over the fireplace, from sittings at the White House in 1902.

Independence Hall in Philadelphia by Ferdinand Richardt, seen over the sofa, depicts the historic building and city life during the mid-19th century.

The Blue Room

This elegant oval room has long been a reception room. President James Monroe furnished this room in the French style in 1817, and purchased most of the gilded chairs, the sofa, and the clock on the mantel.

Grover Cleveland, the only president to have a White House wedding, married Frances Folsom here in 1886.

The Red Room

The Red Room, a parlor since the early 19th century, is often used by first ladies to receive guests. Here, President Rutherford Hayes took the oath of office in 1877.

Most of the American Empire-style furniture was made in New York, 1810-1830. The marble mantel has been in the White House since 1819.

The State Dining Room

The existing architecture and eagle pier tables date from the sweeping renovations made to the White House during the administration of President Theodore Roosevelt in 1902. As many as 140 people can be seated at dinners and luncheons by using round tables.

The portrait of Abraham Lincoln over the mantelpiece was painted in 1869 by George P.A. Healy.

Thomas Jefferson used part of this room as his office where he and his secretary, Meriwether Lewis, planned the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1802. Since 1809, it has served as the State Dining Room.

In 1902, with the removal of a staircase in the Cross Hall, the State Dining Room was enlarged and redesigned with oak paneling for President Theodore Roosevelt. Stuffed animal heads were displayed here until the 1920s.

A Tour of the White House

In 1961, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy resolved to make the White House a “living museum” by restoring the historic integrity of the public rooms and displaying the very best of American artwork, furniture, and décor. In order to fulfill her vision, Mrs. Kennedy founded the White House Historical Association, a private, non-profit organization created in partnership with the National Park Service. Today, the Association continues to advance its mission, enhancing the public’s understanding and appreciation of the Executive Mansion through educational outreach, research, and publications, while assisting the White House with acquisition and preservation projects. This collection, "A Tour of the White House," offers an online tour of the Executive Mansion for those who may not have the opportunity to visit in person.

When Elon Musk set up Tesla’s factory in China, he made a bet that brought him cheap parts and capable workers — a bet that made him ultrarich and saved his company.

Mara Hvistendahl, an investigative reporter for The Times, explains why, now, that lifeline may have given China the tools to beat Tesla at its own game.

On today’s episode

Background reading

A pivot to China saved Elon Musk. It also bound him to Beijing .

Mr. Musk helped create the Chinese electric vehicle industry. But he is now facing challenges there as well as scrutiny in the West over his reliance on China.

Great to have you back in the States, Mr. Prime Minister.

Gov, your nation is behind you and every single marylander as we rebuild the francis scott key bridge together., israel must implement steps to address civilian harm and the safety of workers – and work toward a ceasefire to bring hostages home..

Today, I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu to emphasize that strikes on aid workers and the humanitarian situation in Gaza are unacceptable.

Every American making loan payments should go to StudentAid.gov to learn more about these plans.

By freeing millions from the crushing burden of student debt, folks can finally get on with their lives – starting families and buying homes.

An eclipse is worth marveling at.

But don’t be silly, folks – play it safe and wear protective eyewear.

Starting today, my Administration is requiring big internet providers to tell you exactly what you’re paying – and what you’re getting – when you purchase your plan.

These new labels will be clear and accurate. And they’ll stop Americans from getting ripped off.
