Explore! with Portrait Gallery – National Portrait Gallery

“What is a portrait?” “How do I see myself?” and “How do others see me?”

about

We collaborated with Explore! Children’s Museum and the Smithsonian to create the first space dedicated to children in the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. Explore! with Portrait Gallery is a family friendly, dual-­language exhibition that explores portraiture through hands-­on activities and interactive experiences. It allows kids to answer questions such as “What is a portrait?” “How do I see myself?” and “How do others see me?” Visitors will be able to trace each other’s silhouettes and experiment with expression and emotion by building faces out of illustrated blocks. Designed for children ages 18 months to 8 years old and overall encourages visitors to think about how they see themselves and how they see others.

This exhibit opened in early 2017 within the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery.
