Investing.com -- The White House is planning a comprehensive review of Smithsonian Institution museums to ensure they align with President Trump’s interpretation of American history ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary, according to The Wall Street Journal.
In a letter to Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch viewed by the Journal, three senior White House officials outlined plans to examine museum exhibitions, materials, and operations. The review will cover exhibition text, online content, curatorial processes, collection use, and artist grants.
White House senior associate Lindsey Halligan, domestic policy council director Vince Haley, and Office of Management and Budget director Russ Vought signed the letter, which states the 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."
The officials indicated they want to ensure the museums reflect "unity, progress, and enduring values that define the American story" in accordance with Trump’s executive order for "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History."
The wide-ranging review comes as preparations continue for America’s 250th anniversary celebrations.
