What is the National Portrait Gallery?
The mission of the National Portrait Gallery is to tell the story of America by portraying the people who shape the nation’s history, development and culture. Their collections present people of remarkable character and achievement. These Americans—artists, politicians, scientists, inventors, activists, and performers—form our national identity. They help us understand who we are and remind us of what we can aspire to be. The National Portrait Gallery shares the faces and stories of inspiring Americans with its visitors.
