Visitors to The National Portrait Gallery can see Andy Warhol's famous portrait of Marilyn Monroe. On opening day we had a wandering Monroe impersonator grace the portrait. Andy Warhol, Charlie Chaplin, George Washington and Uncle Sam could be seen walking through the halls all day long. Photo by Joanna Champagne.
