Smithsonian Museums Present Culturally Representative U.S. History Shows

The New York Times critic recommends two history-rich exhibitions at the Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C., describing them as a culturally-representative accounting of the nation's history. The shows, which mark 250 years since the founding of the United States, are closing soon. The critic urges visitors to see them before they close. The exhibitions are part of the Smithsonian's broader effort to present a more inclusive narrative of American history.
