I cannot share this entire book with you, but it is a must have for everyone that loves America and its history. The Diplomatic Reception Rooms at the U. S. Department of State houses an impressive collection filled with more than 5,000 pieces of stunning art, prints and drawings, furniture, porcelain, silver, rugs, vases, sculpture, documents and architecture, which rivals the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Winterthur. 

Below I have shared some of my favorite rooms,  I know that you will ENJOY this intimate tour.
