BP Must Fall!

British Museum, London. Sat 8 Feb 2020



 Extinction Rebellion protesters regularly protest outside the British Museum against BP sponsorship

 but today a special protest by 'BP or Not BP' was taking place on the museum courtyard and inside the museum.

 BP is currenly sponsoring the special exhibition on Troy in the museum, and protesters had brought in a large

 Trojan House as well as the banner 'BP MUST FALL' as well as a group dressed as soldiers and others as ancient Greek gods.

 A line of black-clad protesters with the message BP MUSR FALL

 

 

 

 They walk slowly across the front of the building

 

 and back

 

 and make their way into the museum.

 

 Elsewhere in the museum are a number of workshops and performances by 'BP or not BP' and around

 1500 protesters.
