Oil Spill at the British Museum

Three members of the art activist group Culture Beyond Oil poured non-toxic black oil around the British Museum’s world famous Easter Island sculpture, in protest at BP’s sponsorship of the museum. Emily James, Director of Just Do It, happened to be there and captured the action.
Following similar actions at the Tate Modern, Tate Britain and National Portrait Galllery in recent weeks, the activists targeted the British Museum because of the annual sponsorship it receives from the infamous oil company.
