This sign from upstairs in the National Portrait Gallery shows what sort of people from the 20th century are on exhibition. This sign is a great example of how things have changed in british sociaty. It points out that the people on show were famous and celebrated for acclaimed positions such as: painters, scientists, politicians, poets, writers, composers and dramatists. This in some ways is a stark contrast as to what people in society nowadays are celebrated for. This may be an area to look into.
