LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – 2019/02/16: Activists are seen holding a banner during during the protest against oil company BP who is sponsoring the current exhibition I am Ashurbanipal: king of the world, king of Assyria featuring many ancient artefacts from what is now Iraq. By promoting BP, The British Museum is helping a major fossil fuel company and corporate criminal to cleanse its image, make new oil deals and hide its true activities. As the climate crisis unfolds and communities affected by fossil fuel extraction demand justice, it is no longer acceptable for museums and galleries to promote this toxic industry.
