Timed with the U.S. semiquincentennial, the National Portrait Gallery will commemorate the founding of its historic home with “The Spirit of Invention: Patent Office and Patentees.” This exhibition will sketch the early history of the Patent Office—the third oldest building in Washington—through works in the museum’s collection.
