Trump administration wants to vet all museum exhibitions and ‘remove divisive and partisan narratives’

# US President Donald Trump’s administration is taking control of museum exhibitions. It ordered a sweeping review of some Smithsonian museums to ensure their exhibitions laud American exceptionalism and “remove divisive or partisan narratives.” Trump has moved to assert control over major American cultural institutions since starting his second term in January, while also slashing arts and humanities funding. A letter to the institution’s secretary Lonnie Bunch, published on the White House website, said the administration would carry out a “comprehensive internal review of selected Smithsonian museums and exhibitions.”
