Review of Smithsonian National Portrait ...

This museum is definitely louder, busier, and more...

This museum is definitely louder, busier, and more laid-back than the others we visited in Washington. This is where the famous portraits of President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama hang. Very impressive....and there's a line to see each one with people taking selfies, family photos, and getting a close-up look at each portrait. There are many famous people featured in the museum, as well as many historical figures. Interesting, they post historical information about the subject of each portrait next to them and the artist at the very bottom. Very interesting reading. A gorgeous building...three floors of wonderful!
