Lets the Smithsonian Women's History Museum build on the National Mall and ensures diverse stories are told.
This bill would let the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum be built on the National Mall, a prominent location in Washington D.C. It would also require the museum to ensure its exhibits and programs reflect a wide range of women's experiences and political views. This would give visitors a more complete picture of women's history.
Currently, laws restrict the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum from being built on the National Mall. The rules for choosing a site on federal land and for ensuring diverse exhibits are also less specific. This bill would override those restrictions, allowing the museum to be located on the National Mall. It would also create clearer steps for designating a site and require the museum to actively seek out and represent a broad range of women's experiences and political viewpoints in all its exhibits and programs.
