      Tell Me About Coins Retweeted British Museum

      The press release said that the board approved the appointment unanimously - @wmarybeard did you really? Would love to know the logic behind such a... controversial choicehttps://twitter.com/britishmuseum/status/1407972580447985667 …

      I realise that people find this surprising , but yes. Give us all a chance and let's not judge in advance, however tempting it is! We should reconvene in a year and take stock!

      This does nothing to any diversifying efforts. Just re-enforces elitist image. But surprisingly, Professor Gosden is also a Trustee and may have voted for this.

      It was unanimous. And please don’t doubt our commitments to a more diverse museum.

          Unfortunately, the appointment of an elite white man with zero relevant qualifications sends a very clear message that diversity really isn't on the agenda.

          Mary, why would you vote for someone who actively cut funding for UK heritage. It's disgraceful.

          You have to do this 'don't judge' 'don't doubt' you have just voted unanimously for a man who has attacked arts and culture in the UK. We are entitled to judge that and doubt your commitment. You want people to see the positive? Tell us what it is

          the sad thing is, this decision *absolutely* makes me doubt the BMs commitments to a more diverse museum. Tone/attitude towards to diversity starts at the top with high-level appointments like this. This is a retrograde and frankly reactionary decision - profoundly disappointing

          The only diversity in the museum is from stolen and looted artifacts, which you had no right to.
