The Obamas are going on tour—at least, their likenesses are. The National Portrait Gallery announced Thursday that the official portraits of the former president and first lady that hang in the National Portrait Gallery will visit five cities starting next summer.

The paintings will kick off the year-long tour at the Art Institute of Chicago in June 2021 (just in time for the former president’s 60th birthday) before traveling to museums in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Houston. They will travel the country through May of 2022. It’s not clear exactly when they would return to the Portrait Gallery’s walls.

Kim Sajet, director of the Portrait Gallery, told the Washington Post that she expects each museum to offer something different to accompany the paintings. Because the Portrait Gallery does not charge admission, the various museums have also been asked to provide some free access during the tour.

Meanwhile, a soon-to-be-released book from the Portrait Gallery, The Obama Portraits, will explore the paintings’ influence.

The pair of portraits was unveiled nearly two years ago. Kehinde Wiley’s realistic likeness of President Barack Obama amid an otherworldly field of greenery sits alongside his fellow commanders-in-chief at the American Presidents gallery on the first floor, while Amy Sherald’s muted portrait of Michelle Obama in a geometric dress against a soft blue background is displayed in the 20th Century Americans exhibit on the third floor.

The paintings represent a break in tradition for official presidential images: Wiley and Sherald are the first African American artists to be commissioned by the Smithsonian for official presidential portraits, and both painters were well-known for capturing black subjects. The portraits’ respective settings and poses—President Obama casually leaning forward in a plain chair, as though ready for a frank discussion; and the first lady positioned like a supermodel, strong and assured and surrounded by the draping gown—were novel, too. “Each [radiate,] in its different way, gravitas (his) and glam (hers),” wrote the New York Times upon its unveiling.

Or, as President Obama put it at the unveiling, Sherald captured the “hotness of the woman that I love.”

The portraits were a hit almost immediately, prompting lines of viewers waiting to take selfies next to each framed image. One of the most adorable and viral of those eager visitors, a little girl photographed staring in awe at Michelle Obama’s painting, later met the first lady. The hype helped bring 2.3 million patrons through the doors of the Old Patent Office Building—which houses the Portrait Gallery and the American Art Museum—in 2018, a record for the facility.

The Obamas’ American tour is the fourth time that the Portrait Gallery has sent images of American presidents on the road. An exhibit of Theodore Roosevelt traveled in the late 1990s, a general collection of presidential portraits toured from 2000-2005, and the famous “Lansdowne” portrait of George Washington visited a few venues from 2002-2004.

While the Portrait Gallery has photographs, paintings, and prints (not to mention the first presidential 3-D scan) of the couple in its collection, the official portraits are the only likenesses of the Obamas currently on view. After they go off of display in May 2021, a spokesperson for the museum tells DCist that the Portrait Gallery hopes to replace them with other images of the Obamas from the collection.

Meanwhile, if you’d like to see more of Sherald’s work, the National Museum of Women in the Arts has a selection of her paintings on view in the third floor gallery, and her “Grand Dame Queenie” hangs at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. You can also still find Kehinde Wiley’s portrait of LL Cool J on view at the National Portrait Gallery and his mixed media Saint John the Baptist at the African American History and Culture Museum.

This post has been updated to correct the record that Sherald and Wiley were the first African American artists to paint a presidential portrait for the Smithsonian Institution.
