Popular Smithsonian Associates speaker Paul Glenshaw brings his Art+History lecture series to the Florida Historic Capitol Museum.
Hear stories of President George Washington and Gilbert Stuart, the painter whose portraits of Washington are memorialized on the one-dollar bill and in the Lansdowne Portrait, which is on display in the Museum’s Historic House Chamber. How did these two men—so unlike in temperament, class, and life experience—come together to produce what is arguably the definitive portrait of America’s first president? Find out during this program for the Florida Historic Capitol Museum’s George Washington Experience commemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026.
