Pro-Palestine and climate change protesters targeted the British Museum, causing the historic building to be evacuated and closed. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at the museum's main entrance and displayed a banner reading "Sponsored by BP = sponsored by colonial genocide." The protest group, Energy Embargo for Palestine, objected to the museum's partnership with BP, and the museum closed both entrances, evacuating all visitors inside.
