A Trip to the Portrait Gallery

I went to the first Kalb Report on Monday (more on that later). I had some time to wander around and take in some things.

This elephant is outside the DC Library. It was part of the elephants and donkeys they had out and around DC about 7 years ago. I'll post some pictures of them soon.

Here's the intro from the Smithsonian site on the Gallery:

Through the visual arts, performing arts, and new media, the Portrait Gallery portrays poets and presidents, visionaries and villains, actors and activists who speak American history.
