For those of you in or visiting the Washington DC area, a new exhibit “Great Britons: Treasures from the National Portrait Gallery, London” opened last week at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. The exhibition runs though September.
The gallery has an online slide show of a few of the portraits on loan… you’ll see a few familiar faces!

Wow, I really wish I had known about that when I was home in DC last summer! What a bummer…though at least they didn’t bring the Anne Boleyn portrait here, then I’d really have been upset to miss out!
