Climate activists protest against BP sponsorship at British Museum

A demonstration also took place at the Science Museum in London where Shell is a sponsor

Dozens of protesters, dressed in orange and green flowing costumes to represent the burning environment, gathered at the British Museum on Saturday while youth activists staged a separate demonstration at the Science Museum. Both events aimed to pressure the institutions to sever ties with oil corporations.

The theatrical activist group BP or not BP staged a protest at the British Museum in response to the oil company's sponsorship of Nero: The Man Behind the Myth, the museum's next big exhibition, due to open on 27 May.
