Corridors of Power: A Capitol Journey through Politics, Art, and Memory

Audio guide15 stops

Beyond the White House gates, Washington’s secrets simmer—where polished corridors once echoed with defiance and brushstrokes at the Corcoran Gallery concealed whispered scandals. This self-guided audio tour invites you to unlock a capital full of untold stories. Explore iconic sites as hidden dramas emerge from behind every monument and marble pillar. Venture where most visitors barely scratch the surface. What crisis nearly unseated an American president inside the Oval Office itself? Which clandestine artist left traces in the Corcoran Gallery that curators still debate today? How did a single misplaced letter change the course of political history in this city? Stride through Washington’s epicenters of power and art. Trace footsteps of rebels, visionaries, and those forever entwined with its pulse. Every street hides an enigma. With each new landmark, discover how intrigue and ambition shaped the city’s soul. Begin now and step inside a side of Washington even its monuments struggle to reveal.
