更多细节:
- “史密森尼董事会今日指定艺术与工业大楼作为美国拉美裔国家博物馆的永久馆址,”史密森学会在一份声明中表示。
- 董事会投票决定将博物馆设在史密森尼拥有的艺术与工业大楼内,而非选址在国家公园管理局拥有的地块——后者需要获得国会批准,而当前由唐纳德·特朗普总统所在的共和党掌控国会多数席位。
- 国会于2020年12月授权设立该博物馆。博物馆于2022年在美国历史国家博物馆内开设了临时展区。
- 特朗普政府多次抨击史密森学会,历史学家和民权倡导者认为,这一做法可能会削弱对美国历史关键阶段的承认。
- 据《纽约时报》报道,特朗普政府今年的行政预算取消了拉美裔博物馆的拨款,转而支持创建一个分散式的史密森尼拉美裔中心,该中心将在部分博物馆内举办展览。
- 该报报道称,为艺术与工业大楼的拉美裔博物馆翻新项目筹集资金仍是该项目面临的障碍,预计总成本将达10亿美元。
- 史密森学会是一个庞大的博物馆和研究综合体,也是展示美国历史与文化的顶级展览场所。

WASHINGTON, Aug 31 (Reuters) – The Smithsonian Institution approved on Monday the conversion of one of its buildings into the National Museum of the American Latino, which will enable it to bypass congressional approval for a new site.

FURTHER DETAILS:
- “Today, the Smithsonian Board of Regents designated the Arts and Industries Building as the permanent site of the National Museum of the American Latino,” the Smithsonian said in a statement.
- The board voted to house the museum in the Arts and Industries Building owned by the Smithsonian instead of building it on a site owned by the National Park Service that would require approval from Congress where President Donald Trump’s Republican Party holds a majority.
- Congress authorized the museum in December 2020. It opened a temporary space at the National Museum of American History in 2022.
- The Trump administration has repeatedly attacked the Smithsonian, which historians and civil rights advocates say risks undermining the acknowledgement of critical phases of U.S. history.
- Trump’s executive budget this year stripped out funding for a Latino museum in favor of creating a decentralized Smithsonian Latino Center that would present exhibitions across some museums, The New York Times reported.
- The newspaper reported raising money to retrofit the Arts and Industries Building for the Latino museum remains a hurdle for the project expected to cost $1 billion.
- The Smithsonian is a vast museum and research complex and a premier exhibition space for U.S. history and culture.
