大英博物馆于2025年10月18日在伦敦举办了首个募捐舞会, The British Museum held its first fundraising ball on October 18, 2025, in London, themed "pink" and inspired by its closing Ancient India exhibition. 这次活动由Isha Ambani主持,吸引了800名嘉宾,包括Naomi Campbell和Miucdia Prada等名人,他们每人支付2 000英镑的晚餐和象征性文物招待会费用。 Chaired by Isha Ambani, the event drew 800 guests, including celebrities like Naomi Campbell and Miuccia Prada, who paid £2,000 each for dinner and a reception among iconic artifacts. 收益旨在支持国际伙伴关系、即将到来的Bayeux tapestry展览以及10亿英镑的再开发。 Proceeds aim to support international partnerships, the upcoming Bayeux Tapestry display, and a £1-billion redevelopment. 该舞会反映了在政府资金下降的情况下，英国文化机构依赖私人筹款的趋势日益增长，尽管它因博物馆过去与化石燃料公司的关系而受到批评。 The ball reflects a growing trend of UK cultural institutions relying on private fundraising amid declining government funding, though it has drawn criticism over the museum’s past ties to fossil fuel companies.
