The Smithsonian Institution on Monday unveiled its brand new “Our Shared Future” programming for America’s 250th birthday this year, after the White House launched a review of the group’s plans.

The series of events and exhibitions throughout the year is part of the Smithsonian museum network’s “Our Shared Future: 250” title. The purpose of the programming is twofold: to reminisce about the nation’s founding in 1776 and its extensive history, and to look forward to the future.
