Every Eye is Upon Me: First Ladies of the United States
National Portrait Gallery


 
You are invited to take a docent-led tour of the first major exhibition to explore the historical significance of this prominent position through the mode of portraiture. The tour will feature 20 of over 45 women, who have served in the role over the span of 250 years, from Martha Washington to Melania Trump. Since there is no job description for this unelected, unfunded position, it is left to each first lady to define it for herself. The tour will explore the various roles that first ladies have carved out for themselves.

This tour will be done by Zoom. The link will be sent the morning of the tour. Plan to join the tour 5 minutes before the tour starts. All questions will be funneled through the Q&A feature of Zoom.
