I’ve gone on and on about the National Portrait Gallery before, but I wanted to recommend a couple shows up right now after seeing them myself.

Ballyhoo!–dumb name, but awesome poster examples of portraiture. The posters really capture design aesthetics of their time and are truly beautiful:

Lastly, the Katherine Hepburn exhibit is tiny but cute–they even have her famous red sweater!

P.S. Aren’t the online exhibit pages amazing? You don’t even have to go to the museum! But you should
