Washingtonians seeking some education and entertainment…

Want to see how the Oscar trophy has changed over time? An exhibit showcasing Katharine Hepburn’s record four Best Actress Emmy Awards goes on display at the National Portrait Gallery today, giving you a unique and close-up look at the Oscar and how it changed over the years.

The Oscars will be on view on the third floor of the National Portrait Gallery as a part of the permanent exhibition “Twentieth-Century Americans” (next to Hepburn’s 1982 portrait by Everett Raymond Kinstler).

Now that’s award winning art!
