A few days ago the Met announced that the Sackler name would be removed from several endowed galleries, including the Sackler Wing which houses the Dendur Temple and the Assyrian sculpture court.
I applaud this decision. The Sacklers, like Andrew Clay Frick before them, profited from the misery and suffering of others, and their donations to the Met and other museums, while very welcome, are essentially the ethics equivalent of money laundering. Of course, the Sacklers haven’t given the Met any money in a long time, so this was perhaps an easy decision for the Met, but I think it sets an important precedent, especially for an institution that is so dependent on donors and so resistant to change.
