To finalize its decision, the Smithsonian Institute would need legislation from Congress.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino removed all content related to the embattled Casa Ruby founder from its interactive exhibit and companion website.

The Smithsonian’s board must assign each museum to a site by the end of the year.

Supporters of the two new museums worried they would be relegated to locations far from the National Mall in the wake of conservationists calling for no new additions to “the Nation’s front lawn.”

Lawmakers and activists have been trying to get the museums built for decades.

If the bill makes its way into law, the Smithsonian would start looking for a place for the museum on the National Mall.

The Smithsonian’s Arts and Industries Bulding on the National Mall may soon have a new use: the location for the Smithsonian American Latino Museum.
