In a letter dated Sept. 3, to U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski and Jeff Merkley — who are top members of the Senate Appropriations Committee — Interior Secretary Doug Burgum wrote that the administration is requiring a "commitment to transparency" and "academic honesty."
In line with that requirement, the administration will advise visitors that "the leadership of the Smithsonian and NMAH have altered the museum's role from accurately and coherently telling America's story to using the museum as a tool to advance personal, radical ideologies," NPR reported.
Burgum said the signs are temporary and will be placed on National Park Service land. The requirements were laid out in President Donald Trump's July executive order "Restoring Trust in the Smithsonian Institution."
