Metropolitan Museum of Art to Remove Sackler Name from Galleries

Two years after the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York said it would stop taking donations from the Sacklers,  the institution announced plans to remove the family’s name from galleries within its walls. Among those galleries is the massive, airy space containing the Temple of Dendur, which has long bore the Sackler name.
On Thursday, the Met said the decision was a mutual agreement made with the descendants of Mortimer and Raymond Sackler, who died in 2010 and 2017, respectively.
