We’re talking about a life-size replica where people can take selfies at the president’s Resolute Desk, one of the interactive attractions at a new museum created by the White House Historical Association. Visitors from around the world want to see 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but most can only stand outside the gates and take a photo.
