It's currently the world's largest museum complex with 21 museums as well as
21 museums as well as galleries and the National Zoo.
The institution says it has over 157 million objects and specimens in the its collection, as well as 14.9 million total visits to its locations in 2025.

Institution responded to the White House's report in a statement to ABC

years, the Smithsonian has served the American public with non-partisan and
independent scholarship, and we [music] remain committed to doing so."
