US President Donald Trump on Friday ordered temporary signs to be put up outside the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. The signs are intended to inform visitors that, according to the president, the museum's exhibits need to be updated to provide a more "accurate picture of American history."
The order means that federal authorities will now place information on the walkways outside the museum. The measure is described as part of Trump's efforts to change how American history is presented in public institutions.
The Smithsonian Institution is one of the United States' premier cultural institutions and includes 21 museums focusing on history, culture and art.
