The National Portrait Gallery is a relatively long-established art museum, established in 1962 and affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution. It brings together exquisite portraits, oil paintings and sculptures of many Western celebrities from ancient times to the present. Not to be missed in this museum are the beautiful red, blue and yellow glass windows in the lobby on the third floor, which sparkle on a sunny day.

I recently visited the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC and was really impressed by the art collection here. It was an enriching experience to see so many art exhibits. The most remarkable one was the American portraits section spanning over 100 years.
It is a perfect place to immerse yourself in art and creativity. This place has also a nice gift shop. This is very well curated.

Celebrity Portraits from the USA! National Portrait Gallery
#Overseas travel
In Washington DC, the capital of the United States,
there is an art museum themed on portraits.
Not only celebrities, writers, and scientists,
but there is a whole section with portraits of all the US presidents.
The interior of the art museum itself is beautiful,
so it's a shame to just pass by even one window.
The admission fee is 'free', so when you go to Washington DC,
be sure to visit^^
