A Science Museum Group spokesperson said: “The sponsorship we receive from a wide range of funders, including BP which supports the Science Museum Group Academy, is vital to our mission to inspire millions of people every year.”.
“With BP now brazenly recommitting to dirty fossil fuels, cultural organisations such as The British Museum and Science Museum must urgently move to end their sponsorship deals with the major polluter.
Environmental campaign group Culture Unstained, said that the British Museum’s continued partnership with BP following its new strategy announcement was “indefensible” and “untenable”.
A City Council spokesperson said: “bp and Aberdeen City Council have a long-standing relationship, working together on a wide range of projects for the benefit of the city, including green hydrogen production and support for the award-winning Art Gallery redevelopment.
BP or not BP and Art Not Oil have previously issued statements against the company’s investment in British arts.
