It consists of 21 museums and the National Zoo. Eleven museums are located along the National Mall in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>The institution was established by Congress with money from James Smithson, a British scientist who left his estate to the United States to found &#8220;at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-smithsonian-executive-order-improper-ideology\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump on Thursday signed an\u00a0executive order\u00a0targeting funding for programs at the\u00a0Smithsonian Institution\u00a0that contain what he characterizes as &#8220;divisive, race-centered<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15980,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[157,391,529,2531,2467,817,158],"class_list":["post-15979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us","tag-donald-trump","tag-entertainment","tag-jd-vance","tag-john-f-kennedy","tag-minneapolis","tag-philadelphia","tag-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Trump targets Smithsonian funding for programs with &quot;improper ideology&quot;
