Here Comes Everybody: America's Most Inclusive and Confusing Museum Is Proposed for D.C. (ARTINFO)

ARTINFO - The National Mall in Washington, D.C. is host to more than a dozen museums, which showcase art and scientific ephemera from a profusion of cultures and eras. Plans for a new National Museum of African American History and Culture are underway and the possibility of a Latino museum looms on the horizon. And now it seems that another institution celebrating an aspect of our national heritage is looking to move into the neighborhood. According to the Washington Post, the New York-based Coalition for the National Museum of the American People, under the leadership of retired federal employee Sam Eskenazi, is campaigning for the establishment of an institution that would tell the tale of immigration to the Americas — from travelers arriving 20,000 years ago to people landing on American soil today. Yes, a museum of everybody.
