The National Portrait Gallery Education Department prides itself on using the arts as a vehicle to introduce important Americans in the NPG collection – along with their significant contributions to American society – to visitors of all ages.
Using the exhibitions in the National Portrait Gallery as a catalyst for educational offerings, the department has brought the collection alive through interactive school tours, adult tours, adult and family programming and outreach efforts.
School and teacher programs inspire students and teachers to learn about the men and women who have made significant contributions to the history, development, and culture of the United States.
Help the Education department to introduce important Americans in
the NPG collection to visitors of all ages. Several opportunities are available to members of the public, as well as students.
