I was in D.C. this weekend for a professional meeting and didn't get
out of the hotel (frustrating!), but I did have a drink with a friend
(and former dean) who is a docent at the National Portrait Gallery.
He's very enthusiastic about the Great Britons collection, which he
says both very interesting and high-quality. He particularly
mentioned the Elizabeth and a Shakespeare.
If you visit the exhibit and your docent is Al Schmidt, tell him I
said hi.

In addition to the other exhibitions mentioned for a possible DC
meet-up, the National Portrait Gallery has Great Britons,
portraits from the last 500 years, including the Ditchley portrait
of Elizabeth. Since it was mounted a an adjunct to the Queen's
recent visit, it may have some very interesting portraits to see.
