BILL COSBY-SMITHSONIAN
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Smithsonian Institution will continue to display a museum exhibit that relies in part on the art collection of Bill Cosby and his wife, Camille. The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African Art opened the exhibition of African and African-American artwork in November. On Tuesday, the museum issued a statement saying it is “aware of the recent revelations about Bill Cosby’s behavior.” The museum went on to say that it “in no way condones this behavior.” But the institution says the exhibit is really about the artworks and the artists who created them, not about the owners of the collections.
