An open letter signed by 200+ artists and cultural groups, including the musician and visual artist Brian Eno, urges the British Museum to “stop erasing Palestine” after the institution altered some wall texts in its Middle East Galleries following pressure from a pro-Israel group. The letter also criticizes the museum’s previous connections to the Israeli embassy and the oil company British Petroleum (BP), which is accused of profiting from Israel’s crimes against humanity in Gaza.
While the London museum has denied reports that it removed “Palestine” from its galleries, the group UK Lawyers for Israel publicly claimed that their advocacy led the institution to alter display texts.
