TALLAHASSEE, Fla., March 16 — A Tallahassee museum on Friday rejected a request by the local chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans to remove an exhibit the group considers disrespectful of the Confederate flag.

The group, which has 56 members locally and about 1,500 statewide, asked the Mary Brogan Museum of Art and Science to remove “The Proper Way to Hang a Confederate Flag” by John Sims. The work depicts a Confederate battle flag being lynched from a 13-foot-high wooden gallows.
