The Clinton Library Oval Office is a full-size replica of the Clinton-era Oval Office in the White House. It was designed by Kaki Hockersmith. Hockersmith paid great attention to detail, even to the extent of taking a cutting from the ivy hanging over the original Oval Office fireplace and placing it in the replica exhibit.

Other presidential libraries also have replicas of the Oval Office from their respective historical times, but none of them are full sized. The Clinton Library Oval Office is also the first to feature natural lighting, a demand placed on Polshek Partnership - the architects of the Clinton Library - by Bill Clinton. Next to Clinton's original sketch of the Oval Office replica he wrote, "To my patient architects - with thanks for tolerating my obsessions."
