Virtual Tour of the CIA

DCI Portrait Gallery


The DCI Portrait Gallery is located in one of the two main first floor corridors connecting the Original Headquarters Building with the New Headquarters Building. These portraits, painted by various artists personally chosen by each Director of Central Intelligence, depict each of the CIA's former Directors beginning with Rear Admiral Sidney W. Souers and currently ending with John M. Deutch. Each portrait is painted only after the Director completes his tenure. The DCI portrait gallery also includes a portrait of Major General William J. Donovan. While Gen. Donovan did not hold the position of Director of Central Intelligence, he did serve as the Director of the Office of Strategic Services, the World War II-era forerunner of CIA.
