The New York State Museum isn’t known for its boundary-pushing artistic expression, but the institution’s exhibits — from Native American tableaux to slavery — embrace intersectionality and generally depict the interconnectedness of social struggles — the very kind of “woke” imagery the Trump administration has railed against.

The question is, will a needed infusion of $150 million by Gov. Kathy Hochul, which could remove the museum from the independence of the state Education Department and place it under the executive branch, put the museum in the crosshairs of politics? Or is it more important to ensure the museum isn't ignored?
