The world's largest children's museum is removing three Michael Jackson artifacts from display, but it is keeping photos of the King of Pop in an exhibit honoring a young AIDS patient, CNN reported.
"We are very sensitive to our audience," she said. "In an excess of caution, and in response to the controversy over the HBO film called 'Leaving Neverland,' which directly involved allegations of abuse against children, we removed those objects while we carefully consider the situation more fully.”
The Children's Museum has removed Jackson's fedora and white gloves, which it obtained in an auction, from its American Pop exhibit.
The HBO documentary, "Leaving Neverland," chronicles allegations by James Safechuck and Wade Robson who say Jackson sexually abused them when they were children. HBO is owned by CNN's parent company.
The documentary has sparked a backlash and calls for boycotts, and several organizations have taken actions to avoid the perception that they're honoring Jackson.
