Pop Quiz Trivia Event: America’s Presidents
Do consider yourself a master of American history? Can you name all of our nation’s presidents from Washington to Obama? Know the only president to be born in Nebraska, as well as which state has produced more presidents than any other? If so, then get ready for this month’s Presidential Pop Quiz trivia night at the National Portrait Gallery!
This month’s quiz is based on portraits in our “America’s Presidents” exhibition located on the second floor of the museum. Check out the portraits before trivia night to give yourself an advantage! The event will be held on Thursday, November 6, at 6:30 p.m. in the Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard.
Pop Quiz can be played individually or in a team of up to six people. (You can earn a bonus point or two if you come up with a particularly clever team name.) The team with the highest score will take home a special prize, along with bragging rights. The Courtyard Café will be open during the Pop Quiz for participants to purchase snacks and drinks.
