Nicholas Cullinan, the new director of the British Museum, promises to oversee its biggest transformation with a £1.3 billion digital expansion and renovation of 3,500 rooms.
The museum's plans include its largest building project since the 1820s, costing £50 million, and the reopening of the renowned domed reading room after nearly a decade.
Cullinan emphasized the importance of funding for free admissions, stating that the public accessibility of the British Museum is what makes it special and worth supporting.
Amid some criticism over the museum's prior acceptance of BP's funds, Cullinan has previously cut ties with controversial sponsors, reflecting a commitment to ethical funding policies.
