The Blue Room is famous for its oval shape, central location, and views of the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial through the South Portico windows. For many administrations, it has historically served as the space for receiving guests to the White House. Learn more about the history of the Blue Room with White House Historical Association historian, Dr. Matthew Costello in this short video, made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor.
