The Science Museum found itself at the centre of growing controversy as over 150 people held a mass protest demanding it joins the rest of the culture sector in ending its controversial sponsorship deals with major fossil fuel companies. A huge 12-metre banner spanning the full height of the museum was unfurled inside its iconic Energy Hall while protesters flowed through the museum chanting ‘Adani out!’. It comes as the museum opens a new climate gallery sponsored by the controversial coal mining and arms-producing conglomerate Adani, which will join fossil fuel firm BP and Norwegian oil company Equinor as sponsors of the museum.
