In general, NO!

Who is doing the banning?

A gallery owner does have the right to show or not show certain artwork for any reason or no reason.

A government/public museum I'm not so sure. But then it may be subjective to the curator when they may say "It doesn't fit our exhibit".

More details would be needed. and I bet the ACLU and local papers may have something to say about it if you let them know the situation ;)
