Corporate support

We are embarking on an exciting new era, led by our Director, Dr Nicholas Cullinan OBE, during which we will build a Museum for the future that connects us to our past and to each other.

Join us on this once-in-a-lifetime journey. When you partner with us, we will work hard to ensure that you have an exceptional experience. 

This is going to be the biggest transformation of any museum in the world – not just physically, but intellectually too. And while we look towards this exciting future, we will remain guided by the words of our founder – who dreamed of a museum connecting all arts and sciences, which would be accessible to all persons.

Dr Nicholas Cullinan OBE, Director of the British Museum

Our family of funders support temporary exhibitions, permanent galleries, curatorial positions and education programmes. Whatever your area of interest, we will work closely with you to ensure that we meet your objectives and that you are able to capitalise on opportunities to bring the partnership alive.

• Entertain your clients and key stakeholders in beautiful and awe-inspiring spaces, with curator-led experiences that are only available to corporate partners.
• Engage your employees, clients and stakeholders through access to ticketed, critically acclaimed exhibitions, invitations to exclusive events, early morning views and more.
• Inspire your key audiences through access to curatorial expertise, behind-the-scenes tours and creative experiences.
• Enhance your brand through targeted and high-profile marketing and communications strategies that reach national and international audiences.
• Expand your networks, by attending British Museum events with donors, corporate supporters, collectors, designers, artists, academics and government representatives.

We would love to hear from you. Tell us what you would like to achieve through a partnership with the British Museum and we will be pleased to create a package that meets your needs. An exciting journey starts here.
