Smithsonian Called Underfunded And Disorganized

“The Smithsonian Institution’s eight art museums and galleries are perpetually underfunded, have uneven collections and leadership, and ‘have seldom lived up to their names’ as national museums, according to a report by a committee of outside museum directors. The conclusions, which will be released today, recommend reorganizing the Smithsonian’s arts institutions to eliminate duplication, increase funding and foster more collaboration among them.”
