Iconic Attraction
Our Take
The Portrait Gallery is full of wonderful art but I could spend days looking at the small-but-mighty “America’s Presidents” collection. Featuring the only complete collection of presidential portraits outside of the White House, the standout is President Obama’s official portrait by Kehinde Wiley. The colorful painting is absolutely breathtaking and photos can’t prepare you for the moving experience of viewing it in person. Follow the signs to see Michelle Obama’s equally-stunning portrait, located next to an electric, neon rendering of L.L. Cool J (another Wiley creation).
