The board of the Kennedy Center has voted to close the cultural institution for a two-year renovation period and to add President Donald Trump’s name to its facade. The decision was announced Thursday by Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty, who serves as an ex-officio member of the board.
Further details regarding the scope of the renovations or the specific timeline for the closure were not immediately available. The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy, dedicated to great achievements in music, dance, theater, and more.
