Julia Child's home kitchen is so iconic that it's preserved in the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. There, on the ground floor, you can see the very room in which one of the country's preeminent chefs changed the way we cook (except for the floor and the walls, which are fabrications).

From the signature blue pegboard wall that held her copper cookware collection to the bespoke countertops that were constructed two inches higher than store-bought models in order to accommodate her 6-foot-2 frame, Child's kitchen remains one-of-a-kind and instantly recognizable in popular culture.
