July 18, 2019 – the Tate group of galleries in London have said they will no longer accept Sackler money, and the Sackler Trust has frozen new donations. The Louvre’s president, Jean-Luc Martinez, told RTL radio there’s a 20-year limit on naming rights and the Sackler donation for the wing was in 1996. He did not explain why it had taken three years to remove the signs. Nan Goldin and others staged a protest outside the Louvre on July 1, specifically noting that the Louvre rules left the museum under no obligation to continue displaying the Sackler name.
