A New Location for In Memoriam

Where: National Portrait Gallery

When: closing January 1, 2019

Obviously, with the death of President George H. W. Bush, the Portrait Gallery has a new "In Memoriam" display.  What sets this apart, is that it's not in the usual space on the first floor, but within the American Presidents display on the second floor.  As you can see from the photo, there's a black drape hanging over the portrait to indicate his recent death.

Verdict: To say this is "closing" on January 1 is a little mis-leading.  The portrait will remain indefinitely, so you can see it whenever you like.  I'm assuming it's the drape that will be removed.
