A portrait of former President Donald Trump will be hanging in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington when the museum reopens to the public.

The portrait will be in the museum’s America’s Presidents gallery, which has portraits of all past presidents.

The portrait will not be in the gallery permanently.

“We are still in conversation stages regarding the official commission,” Duncan said.

“We are a non-partisan institution and understand that there are public opinions on both sides of the fence,” Sajet said. “As with all recent presidential commissions, we are unable to speculate as to how visitors will receive the portraits once completed. That is the beauty of portraiture: How it is received is always different for different people.
