After claiming "bias" at the Smithsonian, Trump officials have launched a new museum exhibition, "Art in Action: An American Perspective." The exhibition, which opened yesterday, features a collection of paintings, sculptures, and photographs that officials say celebrate American ideals and achievements.

However, the exhibition has drawn criticism for its selection of artists, several of whom have personal connections to the officials involved in its planning. Critics argue this raises questions about impartiality and the true intent behind the exhibition.

Despite the controversy, the exhibition's organizers, led by former Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, maintain that the show is a genuine effort to showcase a "patriotic perspective" in visual arts. They aim to "make visual arts great," according to a statement released by the Department of the Interior. The exhibition will be on display for three months at a federal building in Washington.

The collection includes works by artists such as John Singer Sargent and Winslow Homer, alongside contemporary pieces. Officials have defended the choices, asserting that the artists represent a diverse range of American experiences and artistic styles, all contributing to a narrative of national pride.
