Description: (Psychiatrist)
Arthur M. Sackler was an American psychiatrist and pharmaceutical marketer. He was known for his involvement in medical advertising and trade publications, as well as his impressive collection of Chinese art, which he donated to the Smithsonian. Sackler also supported the construction of art galleries and medical schools. However, his reputation has been negatively impacted by his company Purdue Pharma's involvement in the opioid crisis, leading to museums and galleries distancing themselves from him and his family.
