Memorable Menus and MusicTour

In-person Educational Program
30 minutes

Part of the president’s job is to create and improve relationships with other countries and their leaders. One way presidents do that is by inviting foreign leaders to the White House for state visits. The president relies on the White House staff to create memorable state visits. Every detail, from the food to the entertainment, is designed to make visiting leaders from foreign countries feel welcome at the event. This interactive tour will introduce students to key concepts related to diplomacy – talking and working together – then challenge them to match menus and music to state events from the Clinton administration.  

This tour is for the “Be Our Guest” exhibition, which explores some of the memorable diplomatic visits hosted by President Bill Clinton and then-First Lady Hillary Clinton.
