    A portrait shot of Beyoncé from 2018 is being added to a museum, which really, makes complete sense.

    Tyler Mitchell took the portrait for Vogue, and it's now being added to the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery's permanent collection.

    Mitchell released a statement about the portrait, saying the original publication of it was the day "we broke the flood gates open."

    Mitchell became the first black photographer to shoot an American Vogue cover upon its publication.

    Speaking at the time of the cover,  Beyoncé said it was difficult for her to get onto magazine covers when she was first coming up in the industry, and said the cover was a momentous occasion.

    "Not only is an African American on the cover of the most important month for Vogue, this is the first-ever Vogue cover shot by an African American photographer," she said at the time.

    Next time you're in Washington D.C in America, give the Smithsonian a visit. It's worth it, to see a legend.
