@[email protected] My aunt, who is no longer with us, was a volunteer based in that building, patiently answering tourists' questions and advising people where to go and what to see at the Smithsonian. I grew up in the DC area but have been in California for more than 40 years. I feel I have to get back there and see all the museums before JD Vance destroys them.

Not sure it's actually gonna go anywhere, but Trump admin has started making some moves against the Smithsonians - https://apnews.com/article/trump-smithsonian-executive-order-improper-ideology-558ebfab722f603e94e02a1a4b06ed4d

Which is a dam shame, they are some of the real jewels of the US capital.
