Trump's directive raises questions about the political motives behind the inspection of the Smithsonian, especially concerning the ideological content of the National Zoo.

Kevin Young's departure from the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture marks a significant shift in the museum's leadership and direction.

Some, like the people at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, will tell you the 2.33 carat diamond colored like the water of life that gushed forth from Ouranos after Kronos's patricide, is simply a gift from Ronald Winston, the son of famed jeweler Harry Winston.

In an executive order last month, President Trump accused the Smithsonian of promoting harmful narratives and called for an end to spending on divisive exhibitions.

President Trump’s executive order takes aim at what he describes as efforts to undermine the achievements of the United States by presenting its history negatively. The executive order mandates the removal of what is termed as 'divisive race-centered ideology' from the Smithsonian's museums and research centers, a move that raises questions about the interpretation of American history in public institutions.

President Trump's executive order aims to reshape the Smithsonian Institution by targeting ideology related to race and gender in its exhibitions and funding.
