The Smithsonian Institution has relocated its official portrait of former first lady Michelle Obama to a larger space in the National Portrait Gallery because of a high volume of visitors.
The portrait, by Baltimore-based artist Amy Sherald, was unveiled last month, alongside one of former President Obama by Kehinde Wiley.
Visitors have poured into the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., since the Obamas portraits were installed.
About 176,000 people visited the museum last month, the largest number in a month in three years, CNN reported.
The former first lady paid a visit to 2-year-old Smithsonian visitor Parker Curry earlier this month, after a photo of Curry staring at the portrait went viral.

When they were first unveiled I predicted that since it was so large it would have to be hung in a hallway or third floor.there isnt room in the main presidential gallery for those two enormous paintings.

Larger space for the Moose?
Landover Mall in nearby Prince George's County is available, with plenty of parking while remaining eco-friendly with greenery, room for collards and Arugula, closer to her peeps and without distracting food courts or stores competing for the focused attention she's earned.
Plenty of room for rap concerts and concealment for shooters...uh, music critics, yeah, music critics.

Not worth commenting on. Both the Obama’s, Barack Hussein and Michelle are “has been’s” hiding in their secured (walled) Washington, DC mansion. They have to go offshore from the USA, just like Hillary Clinton to get any notice whatsoever.
If I were them, I would be heading offshore for good. The Obama/Clinton, FBI Demorats will soon be singing jail birds, dropping dime On Obama and all his criminal cohorts...can’t wait!!!

It looks like the figure was cut out and pasted on top of blue stationery paper. The kind of paper for intra-office alerts.

Was it because they put in a public bus stop?
