The White House is likely to start reviewing exhibitions, content and operations of the Smithsonian Institution before 250. Anniversary of the United States next year to ensure that the museums reflect the vision of President Donald Trump, the White House official.
The White House was written by Lonnie Bunch, secretary Smithsonian Institution, and said he wanted the museum to “reflect unity, progress and permanent values that define the American story”.
“Restoration of truth and common sense in American history,” officials present “a comprehensive internal overview of selected Smithsonian museums and exhibitions. The aim of this initiative is to reconcile with the President’s directive to celebrate American uniqueness, remove the distributing or guerrilla narrative and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions,” the White House said.
“Smithsonian’s work based on a deep commitment to scientific perfection”
The Smithsonian institution replied and said: “The work of Smithsonian is based on a deep commitment to scientific perfection, strict research and accurate, factual presentation of history.
The evaluation will focus on several basic aspects, including the review of the materials presented to the public, such as narratives about exhibitions, online platforms and social media “to assess tone, historical framing and align with American ideals”.
The order, signed on March 27, requires the removal of the “wrong ideology” from the Smithsonian Museums IZ National Zoo.
In addition, it will explore how curatorial decisions are made to analyze the ongoing and upcoming exhibitions, assess the use of current resources and collections, and support the creation of “consistent curatorial instructions reflecting Smithsonian’s original mission”.
At this stage, the evaluation focuses on eight Smithson institutions, namely the National Museum of American History, the National Museum of Natural History, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the National Museum of the American Indian, the National Museum of Air and Universe, Smithsonian American Art Museum
