Our partnerships in art
Working with those that support the arts
As one of the world’s leading museums, the British Museum is a popular attraction with a diverse and international audience and a collection that is representative of most areas of the world. We believe it’s our diversity that sets us apart – of our people, cultures and networks – which aligns with the British Museum’s globally inclusive offering.
