EPA MUSEUM CLOSED: Cost $4 million of taxpayer dollars to build and no visitors!

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin is shuttering the Biden-era EPA museum located near the White House that "scarcely" saw visitors since it opened in 2024, Fox News Digital learned.

Zeldin announced Monday afternoon that the National Environmental Museum and Education Center, which opened last year under the Biden administration, will shutter after costing taxpayers millions to build and subsequently drew a lackluster number of visitors.

"The scarcely visited museum cost a whopping $4 million taxpayer dollars to build in accordance with Smithsonian standards and more than $600,000 annually to operate," the EPA said of the museum in Monday comment provided to Fox News Digital, describing the museum as the "Biden EPA’s pet project." "It had less than 2,000 external visitors between May 2024-February 2025 and while the museum was free, the cost to taxpayers per external visitor amounted to nearly $315 per person."
