The Smithsonian’s new Museum of American Women, which has not received final congressional approval, plans to include biological men in exhibits once it’s established. Touting $55 million in pledged donations on Monday, the museum’s interim director, Lisa Sasaki, said the funds “are pivotal in the realization” of the museum’s vision, which will pay “tribute to the women who shaped our past” and inspire those who shape the future.
There is currently no timeline for when the museum will open, as locations are still being considered and Congress must designate the space. But the team of 14 employees are already working with an annual $2 million budget to begin planning. “We have a job to build a museum that’s going to serve the public for a very, very long time,” Sasaki said. “From the DNA of this museum, there has been a desire to be inclusive.” |
