EL MUSEO DEL BARRIO REVOKES PLAN TO HONOR RIGHT-WING GERMAN PRINCESS
El Museo del Barrio, the New York–based museum dedicated to Latino and Latin American art and culture, announced yesterday that it would no longer be honoring Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis—the conservative Catholic German princess, art collector, and socialite known for her close ties to Stephen Bannon, leaders of far-right political parties in Germany and France, orthodox Roman Catholic officials, and Hillary Clinton—at their fiftieth-anniversary gala in May. Bannon recently mentioned his plan to open up his “Gladiator School,” a media and theological training ground he has envisioned for far-right Catholics who find the current Pope Francis too liberal, at Von Thurn und Taxis’s five-hundred-room castle in Regensburg, Germany.
