I'd love to spend a week going through the collection.   Zhang Shuqi) that was a representative from Chiang Kai-shek (Tiawan) to the U.S. in a cultural exchange program with the Roosevelt administration. One of his works is in the White House collection.  I picked up one of his watercolors in a small town antique shop several years back for the cost of a steak dinner.   
I'd love to wander through the White House storage area...
It's probably right next to the lost ark...

There should have been a Warehouse 13 episode about this!
