Royal Academy of Arts / purpose of this article?

edit

This article does not include the Royal Academy of Arts's Sackler Wing of Galleries. I have not researched this in detail, but I note that, for example, [1] states "The Royal Academy of Arts’s reinstallation of its Sackler Sculpture Gallery, completed last fall, was funded by Jillian Sackler, the widow of Arthur Sackler. Arthur died in 1987, nearly a decade before the controversial drug was introduced, and his brothers bought his shares of Purdue. A representative for Jillian Sackler has stressed that none of the donations made by Arthur Sackler or his widow were made possible by the sale of OxyContin."

This begs the question, what is the purpose of this article? If it is an encyclopaedic and factual list with NPOV, then the RA's wing should be included despite (apparently) the non-connection between it and OxyContin sales. Are there other, similar, examples?
