The White House is initiating a review of the Smithsonian museums and exhibitions in preparation for the country's 250th birthday. The aim is to align the institution's content with President Trump's vision of American history. The review will encompass all public-facing materials, focusing on tone and historical framing as part of an effort to celebrate American exceptionalism while removing divisive narratives. The Smithsonian has committed to maintaining scholarly excellence and accurate historical presentation during this process, working collaboratively with the White House and other governing bodies.
The review will look at all public-facing content, such as social media, exhibition text and educational materials, to assess tone, historical framing, and alignment with American ideals.
This initiative aims to ensure alignment with the President's directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions.
