The Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in Washington D.C is being renamed as part of a re-branding exercise that the Smithsonian insists is not tied to protests against the family and its role in the country's opiod crisis. A museum spokesperson said the change will better reflect the gallery's Asian art focus and further strategic plans to approach the various Smithsonians as "one national museum".
