An Introduction by Director Dr. Nicholas Cullinan will highlight why portraiture has been fundamental to people and society historically, but also to contemporary audiences, by exploring themes of culture, identity and the representation of diversity. This will also introduce readers to the nation's newly-reopened National Portrait Gallery, explaining how it came to be the nation's home of portraits and the world's most significant Collection of people.
