so now we are going to go into our pocahontas gallery area. we are concerned about getting across the fact that the countries deepest roots are entangled with native americans. so, we are talking about pocahontas, who has been famous for 400 years. she is the only native american, she is the only american in the history of the country who has been famous for this long. and we are in this gallery, we are looking at how improbable it is that somebody who was born 400 years ago, let alone a female, let alone an indigenous woman, let alone an indigenous woman who died when she was in her early 20s, should remain famous for 400 years. and so, we know that a lot of our visitors aren't really sure pocahontas was an actual historical person, so the first thing we want to get across is the fact that she was a historical person. and how much it is that we know about her. we know where she was born that she was the daughter of a powerful leader, that she was a frequent visit to the fort james colony, that she was abducted by the colonists and held by the

remember, i said there was no moral test to be in the portrait gallery. only people who automatically get in , presidents and first ladies. so, you might ask, how do you get your picture into the portrait gallery? >> we have historians and art historians and the history museum as well as an art museum. it starts with the sitter and the biography of the person in the portrait. we have to ask ourselves, has the person change the way america look at itself or advanced its culture? >> publicly no big surprise to anyone, portraiture was the latest artform and was reserved for those who could vote. white man who owned land. in fact, in order to have a painted portrait done of yourself, it was very expensive and portraiture didn't come into its own until photography, when everyone could make a portrait of someone they know. so, what's interesting from a historian point of view is there are many people in history whose portraits were never depict did because they may have been enslaved or may have been a migrant or might have even just been a woman. so one of the

the smithsonian national portrait gallery opened its doors in 1968. next, the director shows us 12 paintings that have told the american story over the last half-century. >> welcome. i am the director of the national portrait gallery the smithsonian institution here in washington, d.c.. i am going to take you on a tour of 12 remarkable americans. because that was the brief given to us by congress when we were founded in 1962. we are actually standing in the old patent office. this was the place you came to register inventions. it became a museum in 1968 when we opened to the public. this is in fact our 50th anniversary. the charter that was handed to us by congress was to collect the men and women who made an impact on america's history and culture. i use that word impact advisedly. we have people like john wilkes booth, who assassinated resident -- president lincoln, and the notorious gangster al capone. test to be inral the portrait gallery. we are not a hall of heroes. what we are is a place to reflect on those people who have changed the national

i am a curator and historian at the gallery. today, we are going to look at the year 1968, 50 years back. we call it a one year exhibition about the year 1968. we are going to begin here with this iconic image of us, the earth. this was taken on the mission of apollo 8. it was the first space mission of any nation that would actually leave earth's atmosphere and travel. - the only other ones in the rae was the russians. there was a space race. this image, it surprised the three astronauts who had the camera at the time. i guess nasa did not find them or they forgot. he looked out his window in the orbit craft and see this incredible sight. nobody had ever seen anything like this. he has got black and white film in the camera. he hollers over to his fellow asked not, i need color. can you give me some? they gave him some and he snapped this image, as well as a number of other images. it is called earthrise. it was really a first. this occurred at the end of the year in december of 1968. let's go on to the exhibition and look at t

i would love to show you a cool drug abused to the proggets gallery. -- introduced to the project gallery. it's an app you can download onto your phone. once you loaded you hold it up to a painting and it will read it by facial recognition and very soon you can see all the information about the portrait is available. why am i showing you this? the project gallery is going bilingual. all of our labels are in english and spanish. soon everything will also be available in two languages on the app. also audio and video and some interesting things you can access from home. this is a portrait of frida kahlo. she is not american, she is actually mexican. why do we have a non-american here? if you remember, it was men and women who made an impact on america. most people are from america, but not everyone was born here. there are many people that came that actually changed the culture. frida kahlo is known very much for her art. she created these beautiful portraits of her home country. but also came here to the united states with her husband, specifically in california and new york. she did many

the noir knots an hour gallery was opened in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight. of the eyes you take. now fifty years later me spend a rose grandson joins david chipperfield for the tradesman's building party he'll be serving as a consultant during the renovation. chipperfield this stuff would become a war does he chipperfield hasn't become known so much for restoring the old landmark buildings to their original condition or the board. more for incorporating the history the life story of the building and bringing it to us live this borders. on. david chipperfield constantly on the go between his full roughnesses around europe and in shanghai he studied in london and started his own architectural firm in one thousand nine hundred five. his restoration of billions noise museum brought his international breakthrough. after ten years of construction work the noise museum was reopened in two thousand and nine david chipperfield has also created entirely new museums like the hip with wakefield gallery in england and the who makes museum in mexico city. his timeless arc

the gallery owns that as well. when i say coverage, this was the original art for the covers that time photographed and put on the cover of the magazine. we are not talking about paper cover, it is the original art on all of these images. lichtenstein, the images of kennedy was not really appropriate for an image that would follow so closely his death. lichtenstein was the perfect artist to capture his vibrancy, his energy. it was a good portrait at the time to do that. conversely, using a real gun. it might have been a little too much and too graphic. lichtenstein's image was a little better. the second half of this wall is armed resistance. moving from the peaceful resistance of martin luther king to three images here of four black panthers. when i say armed resistance, carmichael has a revolver here stuck in his waist. and holding a shotgun there. the image above them, that was, at the time hughley newton's murder trial. they were the founders of the black panthers. this image shows him at the time of the trial

vanderbilt didn't charge the gallery for that. we have a beautiful letter saying that it was really -- that it was part of her american duty, part of her patriotic duty to house and keep this art safe at biltmore. so it's interesting to think why these spaces may not have been finished. many people say perhaps because of financial reasons. i'm not sure that's the case because there are so many other spaces that are finished with incredibly carved woodwork, beautiful french walnut, exquisite metal work. i don't think if finances had been the deciding factor that those other spaces would have been finished so finely. i suspect it was very common that rooms like this would have been outfitted with panelling sourced from abroad from other grand homes that were being dismantled. and mr. vanderbilt was very particular and his architect was very particular so i imagine that they were waiting to find just the right space to outfit with antique wood panelling and they never quite came across it. also the architect, mr. hunt, passed away du
