Raymond Sackler Dies at 97

July 21, 2017 by Marion Maneker

Raymond Sackler, the last of three Sackler brothers who made a fortune in pharmaceuticals, died this week at 97. His family were major collectors and contributors to a number of museums around the world:

They were major benefactors who helped finance the Sackler Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (home to the Temple of Dendur), the Freer and Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, British cultural institutions, schools in Israel and scores of scientific, academic and cultural programs.
