After the Louvre and its Grand Dinner , it's the British Museum's turn to launch into fundraising galas. The London museum organized a "Pink Ball" on October 18, bringing together artists, celebrities, and patrons.
A dinner to fund the London museum's international collaborations.
Beneath the glass roof of its Great Court, the British Museum hosted its first-ever fundraising gala on Saturday evening. The event, held alongside the Frieze Art Fair and the BFI London Film Festival , aimed to position London as a cultural capital on par with New York and Paris. Designers, artists, and political figures—from Naomi Campbell to Mick Jagger , Janet Jackson , Kristin Scott Thomas , and the city's mayor, Sadiq Khan —gathered for a philanthropic dinner. This "Pink Ball," whose dress code included pink as a nod to the museum's current exhibition on India, aims to establish itself as an annual event in London's cultural calendar.
