PORTRAITS OF COURAGE - Opening March 14, 2024

On Exhibit from March 14 to May 19, 2024

Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief's Tribute to America's Warriors is a collection of portraits by President George W. Bush on loan from The Ambassador and Mrs. George L. Argyros Collection of Presidential Art  at the George W. Bush Presidential Center, an non-profit organization whose Veterans and Military Families programming is focused on helping veterans and their families make successful transitions. 

Portraits of Courage will be on exhibit at the Nixon Library and for the first time on the West Coast thanks to the generosity of the Lisa Argyros/Argyros Family Foundation. 

May 24 to September 2, 2024

In seven banners hanging along the colonnade adjacent to the Malek Orientation Theater, the display tells the story of the origin, development, and contributions of the U.S. Foreign Service – the career diplomats who advise the president on international affairs and advance our nation’s interests serving in 165 foreign countries.  The exhibit commemorates the centennial of the Foreign Service’s founding in 1924.  The display was developed in cooperation with the American Foreign Service Association -- the professional association of career U.S. diplomats – which also celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
