They've rebranded the two museums -- previously the Freer | Sackler Gallery although often called "Where Asia Meets America" -- the National Museum of Asian Art. This was done not to remove the opioid-tarred Sackler name from the gallery -- something which they can't do under the terms of the Sackler grant -- but to make it fit into the naming convention used by some other Smithsonian museums --
The National Museum of African-American History and Culture,
The National Museum of African Art, National Museum of American History,
The National Museum of the American Indian,
The National Museum of the American Indian George Gustav Heye Center, and
The National Museum of Natural History. |
