U.S. President Trump has signed an executive order directing the Smithsonian Institution to eliminate what he calls divisive narratives from its museums and exhibits.
U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting the Smithsonian Institution, which operates more than 20 museums and research centers.
The order instructs the vice president to “eliminate improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology” from the Smithsonian’s museums, centers, and the National Zoo in Washington.
Trump claimed there has been a “concerted and widespread” effort over the past decade to rewrite U.S. history by replacing “objective facts” with a “distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth.”
The order also directs the interior secretary to restore federal properties—including parks, memorials, and statues—that have been improperly removed or altered in the past five years to support what Trump called a false revision of history.
The Smithsonian museums attract 15 to 30 million visitors each year and offer free entry. The institution operates 21 museums across Washington, Virginia, and New York, including the National Museum of American History, the National Portrait Gallery, the American Art Museum, and the National Zoo.
