Every four years on Inauguration Day, the newly elected president swears to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” In our online exhibit on Google Arts and Culture, check out presidential artifacts that have been on display at the National Constitution Center. With artifacts drawn from presidential libraries, historic sites and societies, and the Center’s own collection—including this model of the White House, on display at the Center—the exhibit illuminates both the public and private sides of those who have held the nation’s highest office.
