The one in Japan is overdue for something different, when was the last time it was changed out?

And who could be upset about painting veterans. Let's hope we never find out!

I can't wait to see this even though I loved the Native American exhibit too.

100% this. Anybody who has never popped into one is doing themselves a huge disservice.

Don’t let Burbank see this.
I use these areas as a rain shelter Aug/Sept as we go dry to wet wet to dry several times a day in the parks and wearing Wal Mart ponchos.
It appears this space may be closed a little longer than originally noted above - the Walt Disney World website now shows it will be closed through June 9, with hours beginning June 10.
However, the Disney Parks Blog post still has the Portraits of Courage exhibit listed as opening June 9.
It appears the Portraits of Courage gallery is now on display at the American Adventure rotunda as of today (Via Jason Recher):

Oh so they are hanging on the walls of the rotunda! Are any of them in the gallery as well? Does the gallery still have the Native American displays?

Wow. I thought they were only going into the exhibit gallery, not the main rotunda. Maybe there are so many the portraits are in both?Walt Disney World Unveils George W. Bush's 'Portraits of Courage' at EPCOT

The only downside of this - these replace the semi-permanent paintings of American History that set the tone and story of the American adventure. These modern paintings slightly clash with the rest of the Rotunda.
The gallery space is where I assumed this was going - that has always been rotating exhibits.
The positive side is, we have two exhibits - the President George Bush paintings and the Native American artifacts and exhibit.

Im surprised as well, it seems a bit jarring in the rotunda,,thought for sure it would go in the gallery,,,at the same time still glad to have the native American exhibit. But your right.

I remember when the movie Soul came out weren't all the paintings about jazz history ?

IIRC, they had some different artifacts on display. I believe one of those was Louis Armstrong’s trumpet. It was more of a traveling display that eventually ended up in Downtown Disney.

They should have replaced the American Heritage Gallery exhibit instead of the classic Epcot Center art! Ayayay
