More than 800 guests attended the £2000-per-ticket event, including the former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and the artists Grayson Perry and Tracey Emin, who is a trustee of the museum. Ticket sales for the event raised around £1.6m for the museum's international partnerships, though the final total raised from donations and a silent auction is expected to be much higher.
