During the Great Exhibition Road Festival that attracts large crowds for a spectacular display of art and science, Extinction Rebellion smuggle a huge banner into The Museum’s Energy Hall to shine a light on the Science Museum’s shameful interactions with the fossil fuel industry. Scientists for XR, wearing their white lab coats, were showered with black paper confetti, representing the damage caused by The Museum’s coal, oil and gas sponsors. Different campaign groups also set up a guerilla stand in the heart of The Great Exhibition Road Festival, engaging the public about The Museum’s sponsors.
