The Metropolitan Museum of Art has removed the Sackler name from its building after concerns about the family's role in the opioid crisis.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is removing the Sackler name from a number of exhibits following scrutiny over the family's involvement in the opioid crisis.
Richard Serra, Kara Walker, and Ai Weiwei were among a group of more than seventy that quietly pressured the museum to end its association with the family that made a fortune on the opioid crisis.
In the wake of growing outrage over the role the Sacklers may have played in the opioid crisis, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Sackler family jointly announced on Thursday that the Sackler name would be removed from seven exhibition spaces.
