Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act

This bill sets up the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum on a specific spot on the National Mall in Washington, DC, across from the National Museum of African American History and Culture, though the President could pick a different location within 180 days. The Smithsonian must get approval from certain federal agencies to plan, design, and build the museum, and it must pay back any costs from that approval process. The bill says the museum must focus on the history, achievements, and lived experiences of biological women in the United States, and it may not identify or present any biological male as a female. The museum's advisory council is required to seek input from a wide range of sources that reflect different political viewpoints and the diverse experiences of women in the country.
