Former first lady Michelle Obama s official portrait continues to live up to her reputation.

The Smithsonians National Portrait Gallery announced earlier this month that it had to move the painting because of its overwhelming popularity.

In a tweet, the Washington gallery said it was relocating her portrait, created by artist Amy Sherald, to the museums third floor in the 20th Century Americans exhibition. It was originally featured in the same exhibition on the gallerys first floor.

This new space, the gallery said, provides a more spacious viewing experience for Obamas stunning image.
