NewzPresident Trump has asked the Smithsonian Institution to install statues and create an exhibit honoring George Washington, spanning from the present through the 300th anniversary of Washington's birth on February 22, 2032.
As part of this request, made in late Friday social media posts, Trump asked the institution to place an 11-foot statue of Washington—featured at the recent Freedom 250 IndyCar race—in the museum's Flag Hall for Constitution Day on September 17. He additionally requested a 30-foot-tall statue of Washington outside the National Museum of American History (NMAH).
The proposed additions to the museum complex would involve replacing an unspecified existing feature, aligning with the broader timeline leading up to the upcoming tricentennial anniversary.
