The Presidential Years

Thumbnail of FDR speaking to CongressThe Presidential Gallery, located on the museum's main floor, takes visitors on a journey through each of FDR's four terms as President of the United States. Beginning with the campaign of 1932, the exhibits then explore the First Hundred days, New Deal programs and artwork, and the unprecedented run for a third term. The visitor then can view a video about World War II, experience a recreation of the President's White House Map Room, and participate in an interactive exhibit on war time decision making. The gallery concludes with scenes from the President's funeral, just as the country was on the threshold of victory. Gifts from Heads of State also are on display throughout this gallery .
