It comes as climate protesters and pro-Palestine activists united this afternoon to block entry in the building. A new alliance called Energy Embargo for Palestine targeted the British Museum, on Russell Street, at around 2.15pm. The museum has closed both entrances, with people inside the museum evacuated.
Protestors stood at the museum's main entrance and held up a banner which read: "'Sponsored by BP = sponsored by colonial genocide." As well as that, Palestine flags were waved as demonstrators called out "shut down BP' and "if you partner with BP, we'll shut you down."
