Completed in 1978 and designed by architect Kevin Roche, the Sackler Wing is an expansion of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Fifth Avenue location in New York City, built specifically to house the Temple of Dendur, an ancient Egyptian structure brought to the museum. Located north of the museum's original building, the wing was originally named after the Sackler family; however, in 2021 the Sackler name was removed from several elements of the Met, leaving the wing without an official designation. The gallery housing the temple itself is known simply as Gallery 131.
