The Smithsonian National Museum of American History finds itself at the center of a political storm. On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Restoring Trust in the Smithsonian Institution.” This directive mandates the National Park Service to install warning signs outside the museum. These signs inform visitors about the necessity for renovations, aligning with a contentious report from the White House.
The report was released on July 4 and criticizes the museum’s portrayal of American history, labeling it as divisive and misleading.
Visitors to the Smithsonian have noticed the increased signage following the nation’s 250th Independence Day celebrations, underscoring the political tensions surrounding the institution.
