The Smithsonian Institution was created in 1846 as the premier exhibition space for American history and culture.

President Donald Trump on Thursday ordered that “improper, divisive or anti-American ideology” be removed from the Smithsonian.
According to Trump’s order, the Biden-Harris administration “pushed a divisive ideology that reconstrued America’s promotion of liberty as fundamentally flawed, inflecting revered institutions like the Smithsonian and national parks with false narratives.”
Trump directed that Vice President JD Vance undertake the action. Vance is a member of the Smithsonian’s Board of Regents.
The order, titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” takes aim at revisionist history which places systemic racism at the heart of the American narrative.
The order states that the National Museum of African American History and Culture is problematic in that it informs visitors that “hard work,” “individualism” and “the nuclear family” are aspects of “White culture.”
The order also asserts that American Women’s History Museum plans to celebrate male athletes participating in women’s sports.
The Smithsonian spans 21 museums, most of them in the nation’s capital lining the mall from the U.S. Capitol to the Washington Monument, and including the National Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of American History and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
The order also directs the Interior Department to restore federal parks, monuments and memorials that have been “removed or changed in the last years to perpetuate a false revision of history.”
