The Smithsonian National Museum of History said it will restore the placard after it was removed from the exhibition last month.
The museum said in a statement on Saturday that the section will be “updated in the coming weeks to reflect all improvisation procedures in our nation’s history.”
The Washington Post reported Thursday that an unnamed source familiar with the exhibition plan, deleting the placard was part of an internal content review, and the agency agreed to put pressure on the President’s administration to get rid of the art gallery directors.
The Smithsonian said Saturday that the placard was part of the exhibition “U.S. Presidential Office: A Glorious Burden” and did not meet the standards of the institution, and argued that no one within the government asked the museum to delete information.
“The placard was originally a temporary addition to a twenty-five-year-old exhibition, which did not meet the museum’s standards in appearance, location, schedule and overall presentation. It was inconsistent with the rest of the exhibition and blocked the view of objects in the case,” the Smithsonian said in a statement.
“For these reasons, we removed the placards. No government or other government officials asked us to remove content from the exhibition,” the museum added.
Smithsonian previously told The Hill that the placard details Trump’s two impeachments before it was removed last month, which has been part of the exhibition since September 2021.
A Smithsonian spokesman said: “This is a short-term measure to address current affairs at that time, but the label continues until July 2025.”
“The part of this exhibition covers Congress, the Supreme Court, impeachment and public opinion,” the spokesperson added. “As other topics in this section have not been updated since 2008, it was decided to restore the impeachment case to its 2008 appearance.”
During his first White House tenure, the president was impeached twice: he allegedly called and he allegedly asked Ukraine to investigate then-EX-EX President Biden and his son Hunter Biden, another attacked Capitol on January 6, 2021. In both cases, he was acquitted by the Senate.
The demolition of the placard took the rebound from Democratic lawmakers.
Trump signed an executive order in March to remove “schizophrenia” from the Smithsonian Museums that are incompatible with government views and “remind “Americans” our extraordinary legacy.”
“As guardians of national memory, we have a responsibility to tell accurate, complete history. As recently reported, July reported, the Smithsonian said, “In July, the July placard was removed from the National Museum of History’s exhibition “U.S. Presidential Office: A Prosperity of Glory.” ”
The agency added: “The purpose of the improvisation part of the exhibition is to reflect all improvisation procedures in the history of our country.”
