Maybe I'm just cynical, but I wonder if it isn't the current administration's attempt to remake American History (or at least its museum) in its own image... before a new administration comes to power a few months later.

Awwh. I was hoping to make it back up there this summer, that's one of the museums that we didn't check out. :(
