The South Asia Solidarity Group protested against Adani sponsorship of the Science Museum both outside and inside it on August 31st 2022, on the evening of its India-related 'Lates' event:
From The Guardian (15.7.22):
Hundreds of teachers have pledged not to take their students to a new exhibition at the Science Museum in London until it cancels its sponsorship deal with a company linked to the coalminer Adani.
From our friends at UKSCN:
29.6.22: 'today, we visited the science museum with the Fossil Free Science Museum coalition to demand that they drop Adani as a sponsor #StopAdani with this climate crime scene we wanted to highlight the crimes of @Gautam_Adani against indigenous communities and the planet'
Last night (April 23rd), we occupied four rooms inside the British Museum after hours in protest against the museum’s controversial sponsor, the oil giant BP. Our performers smuggled in a huge, 10-metre version of the oil company’s logo, made from wood and fabric, which we dramatically “dismantled” in a hundreds-strong performance in the museum’s Great Court at 4pm.
Terrific news from our doughty friends at Culture Unstained:

'Speaking at the festival, the author took aim at the event’s "embarrassing" financial arrangements that come "straight out of the big tobacco playbook"':
