A May 2021 survey investigated public opinion on whether museums have a political agenda in the United States. Overall, almost half of respondents believed that museums do have viewpoints that they share, but they do not necessarily have a political agenda. Meanwhile, 35 percent of the survey sample thought that these institutions were non-partisan.
