唐纳德·特朗普总统下令在史密森尼博物馆外设置警示牌，指责该机构存在政治化展品，强调行动主义而非历史本身。该机构因宣扬种族赔偿以及2020年一张批评“白人文化”的信息图而受到审查。一场国会听证会进一步激化了围绕该博物馆“觉醒”式展陈及其历史准确性的争论，凸显了日益紧张的局势。

史密森尼学会旗下位于华盛顿特区的博物馆因被指愈发浓厚的左翼叙事，遭到保守派人士和唐纳德·特朗普总统的抨击。作为全球最大的博物馆综合体，它拥有覆盖全美各地的庞大网络，每年影响数百万民众。
史密森尼学会于1846年由英国科学家詹姆斯·史密森的遗产捐资成立。詹姆斯·史密森从未到访过美国，却留下遗产用于创立一个“为增进和传播知识”的机构。从一座单一博物馆起步，史密森尼逐渐发展为全球规模最大的博物馆、教育与研究综合体。
如今，史密森尼在全美8个州、华盛顿特区以及巴拿马拥有或租赁了近700处设施，总建筑面积约1360万平方英尺，涵盖博物馆、实验室、档案馆、仓库、研究站及配套设施。
该机构目前馆藏超过1.57亿件文物与标本，运营着21座博物馆、国家动物园以及14个教育与研究中心，下设21座图书馆，并与全美超过200家合作博物馆和文化机构建立合作关系。

游客只能看到史密森尼总馆藏的一小部分。该机构超过1.57亿件文物与标本中，约99%都被存放在仓库、实验室和档案馆中，由研究人员进行保护和研究。
整体而言，史密森尼每年接待超过3000万名现场游客，其教育资源和数字平台还惠及数百万更多人群。该机构年度预算超过10亿美元。
史密森尼不仅仅是博物馆运营方，它实际上是一座国家级教育与研究机构，其影响力遍及全美各地校园，助力塑造美国学生的教育体验。

通过史密森尼学习实验室、史密森尼科学教育中心等项目，该机构提供数百万份免费教案、课堂活动、虚拟实地考察及其他教育资源，供全美教师和学生使用。它还为教育工作者提供专业发展培训，并开展远超博物馆范畴的教育项目。
在大学校园中，史密森尼积极与全美各地学校开展合作，包括实习、奖学金、研究合作以及联合学术项目，每年与数千名本科生、研究生和博士后研究者建立联系。

本月早些时候，白宫发布了一份全面报告，警告史密森尼内部据称存在左翼政治渗透。一名专家告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，这份报告是数十年来社会主义和共产主义活动人士在美国推动的“通过机构长期渗透”的例证。
“从历史到行动主义的转变在这份报告中得到了清晰记录。自2019年起担任美国历史博物馆馆长的安西娅·哈蒂格明确表示，她将历史视为‘社会正义的主要工具’，并将其职责之一定义为‘将研究和学术成果与行动主义和倡导工作相结合’，”白宫报告中写道。
上周，特朗普总统下令其政府在史密森尼国家美国历史博物馆外设置标识，引导游客查阅白宫所称的关于美国过去“准确”的信息。这一举措确保了围绕史密森尼文化影响力的争议将在未来数月持续成为热议话题。

Inside the behemoth Smithsonian museum network drawing fire from the Trump administration
The world’s largest museum complex houses 157 million artifacts while shaping education on campuses nationwide

President Donald Trump orders warning signs outside the Smithsonian, alleging politicized exhibits that emphasize activism over history. The institution faces scrutiny for promoting racial reparations and for a 2020 infographic criticizing ‘white culture.’ A congressional hearing further ignited debate over the museum’s ‘woke’ displays and their historical accuracy, highlighting the growing tension.

The Smithsonian Institution, whose museums in Washington, D.C. have come under fire from conservatives and President Donald Trump over what they describe as increasingly left-wing messaging, is the world’s largest museum complex, comprising a sprawling network that spans the country and influences millions of people each year.
Founded in 1846 with funds from the will of British scientist James Smithson, who never visited the United States but left his fortune to establish an institution “for the increase and diffusion of knowledge,” the Smithsonian steadily grew from a single museum into the world’s largest museum, education and research complex.
Today, the Smithsonian owns or leases nearly 700 facilities across eight states, Washington, D.C., and Panama, encompassing roughly 13.6 million square feet of museums, laboratories, archives, warehouses, research stations and support facilities.
The organization now houses more than 157 million artifacts and specimens, operates 21 museums along with the National Zoo and 14 education and research centers, maintains 21 libraries, and partners with more than 200 affiliate museums and cultural institutions nationwide.

Visitors see only a fraction of the Smithsonian’s overall collection. Roughly 99% of the Smithsonian’s more than 157 million artifacts and specimens are kept in storage facilities, laboratories and archives, where they are preserved and studied by researchers.
The Smithsonian as a whole welcomes over 30 million in-person visitors each year, while its educational resources and digital platforms reach millions more. The institution operates on an annual budget of more than $1 billion.
The Smithsonian isn’t just a museum operator, it’s effectively a national education and research institution that has a vast reach across school campuses nationwide as it helps shape the educational experience of the nation’s students.

Through initiatives like the Smithsonian Learning Lab and Smithsonian Science Education Center, the institution provides millions of free lesson plans, classroom activities, virtual field trips and other educational resources used by teachers and students nationwide. It also offers professional development for educators and educational programming that extends well beyond its museums.
On college campuses, the Smithsonian is actively involved in partnering with schools across the country on internships, fellowships, research collaborations and joint academic programs which put the organization in touch with thousands of undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students each year.

Earlier this month, the White House released a sweeping report warning about an alleged infiltration of leftist politics inside the Smithsonian, a report an expert told Fox News Digital is an example of the “long march through the institutions” that socialist and communist activists have been pushing in the United States for decades.
“That shift from history to activism is clearly documented in this report. Anthea Hartig, NMAH’s director since 2019, has explicitly stated that she sees history as a ‘prime tool of social justice’ and one of her roles as connecting ‘research and scholarship to activism and advocacy,’” the White House report stated.
Last week, President Trump ordered his administration to install signs outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History directing visitors to what the White House describes as “accurate” information about the nation’s past, guaranteeing that the controversy over the Smithsonian’s cultural influence will remain a topic of conversation for months to come.
