Das Smithsonian gibt drei gestohlene Bronzeskulpturen aus Tamil Nadu an Indien zurück, die 1956-1959 noch in Tempeln dokumentiert waren. Der Shiva Nataraja aus dem Jahr 990 bleibt als umstrittene Langzeitleihgabe in Washington.

Trump fordert ein neues Porträt von der National Portrait Gallery, das beide Amtszeiten abbilden soll. Das bereits fertiggestellte Gemälde, das der verstorbene Maler Ronald Sherr für 650.000 Dollar anfertigte, lagert im Weißen Haus ohne öffentliche Präsentation.

Smithsonian: Archives of American Art Acquires Rare Photographs of Andy Warhol’s Factory. “The Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art has acquired more than 400 stereoscopic slides of Andy Warhol (1928–1987) inside his legendary New York City studio, The Factory. Stereoscopic slides use two aligned images to simulate depth, creating the illusion of a vivid 3 D scene.”

#Grant Guidelines for #Libraries & #Museums Take “Chilling” #Political Turn Under #Trump

In cover letters accompanying the applications, the institute said it “particularly welcomes” projects that align with Trump’s vision for America

These would include those that foster an appreciation for the country “through uplifting & positive narratives,” the agency writes, citing an #EO that attacks the #Smithsonian Institution for its “divisive, race-centered ideology.”

👁️👁️ More than 500 million years ago, some of the very first #vertebrates may have navigated the world with four eyes.

New #research suggests two of those eyes eventually evolved into the pineal gland – the part of our modern #brains that regulates #sleep.

The Smithsonian Museum has announced that it will be returning three sculptures to India. The three sculptures made of bronze were illegally removed from their setting. Dating between the 10th and 16th centuries they were originally scared objects. One of the sculptures whilst being returned to India's possession will remain on long term loan. https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/smithsonian-museum-to-return-three-bronze-sculptures-to-india/article70565711.ece

Die National Portrait Gallery kürzte Trumps Biografietext – seine Impeachment-Verfahren verschwanden. Derweil dokumentieren 600 Freiwillige als „Citizen Historians", was aus den Smithsonian-Ausstellungen entfernt wird.

Suppressing content

So right, if the #trumpadministration removes (plays with history) with the current exhibitions, the institution can use their power and (smile) charge $90 to enter which causes nobody to see the #censored info

The White House said it plans to conduct a wide-ranging review of the Smithsonian's museum exhibitions, materials and operations to ensure they align with President Donald Trump's view of American history

In response to the White House’s demand, the institution will charge $99 for admission and $990 for private tours

Lonnie G. Bunch III (Secretary of the Smithsonian) said they plan to send more information to the White House but stressed that “all content, programming and curatorial decisions are made by the Smithsonian"

The admission will be changed to $99 with no student or senior discounts. Private tours for $990 (members only)

That what they say is just a pretext becomes glaringly apparent when white government agents are stopping, arresting, and imprisoning Native Americans over their purported immigration statuses.

The shameful atrocities committed by the U.S.A. against native Americans from the 18th to the 20th centuries are the very things that #DonaldJTrump last year ordered the #Smithsonian to stop telling people about and is still suppressing today.

Here's a hidden gem in DC. The National Portrait Gallery has an enclosed courtyard with a glass ceiling. Can't believe I never knew this existed. #WashingtonDC #Smithsonian

The Hill: Smithsonian, under White House pressure, turns over details on planned exhibits. “Facing pressure from the White House, the Smithsonian Institution on Tuesday handed the Trump administration new materials and documents for its planned exhibits and events during the United States’ 250th birthday.”
