Many large organisations have wall space they give over to celebrate previous leaders. Long-serving and much-loved power figures who left their mark over decades at the top.
But the roll of honour also marks the time served by the lesser figures, who become forgotten or, if famous, the answer to a pub quiz question.
Today it was revealed the Department for Education had acted in the latter tradition.
A former adviser to Michael Gove has revealed that a portrait has already been hung in its Westminster headquarters to mark the time that Michelle Donelan was in charge of the nation's schools - all 36 hours of it.
Ms Donelan was promoted from Universities Minister on July 5 after the previous education secretary, Nadhim Zahawi, was made Chancellor in place of Rishi Sunak quit.
