President Donald Trump has ordered the National Park Service to install temporary signage near the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, warning of what the administration views as ‘inaccurate information’ presented in the institution’s exhibits.

Executive Order Details

The executive order demands that the National Park Service installs signs promoting a White House report that denigrated exhibits at the National Museum of American History. The order says the signage ‘shall notify visitors that the Museum exhibits should be renovated consistent with the findings’ in the report and directs them to ‘locations and resources for accurate information’ about the country’s history.

Critics have accused the Trump administration of attempting to leverage the museum to re-write the history presented in its exhibits to favor a conservative worldview. The Smithsonian is an independent agency that is meant to operate outside the control of the executive branch, but the government controls much of the museum system’s funding.
