THERE'S STILL A LONG ROAD AHEAD FOR THE SMITHSONIAN'S TWO NEWEST MUSEUMS

The two newest upcoming additions to the Smithsonian,
American Museum of Women’s History, will be fantastic strides in the soon-to-be Biden Administration’s slow but assuring work towards widespread cultural education and acceptance. In December 2020, Congress
officially approved legislation that will create the two museums, backed in part by the recently approved omnibus package including a $900 billion COVID-19 relief fund. Both buildings are slated to be built on or directly around the National Mall in Washington D.C.

By PEGGY MCGLONE | The Washington Post | Published: January 12, 2021
WASHINGTON When the Smithsonian introduced a futuristic plan for the 17 acres around its iconic administration building, the National Historic Landmark known as the Castle, officials predicted it would be a game-changer that would remake the structure into a visitor gateway to the storied institution.

The Smithsonian Institution has ditched much of a $2 billion design plan by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, which was set to be the blueprint for a major overhaul of its south campus. Unveiled in late 2014, the splashy master plan was expected to take 20 to 30 years to complete, with construction beginning this year. ....
