The United Kingdom's Science Museum has taken funding from a subsidiary of well-known coal conglomerate, Adani Group, to sponsor the gallery on energy transition.
The museum is hosting the government’s Global Investment Summit next week as part of the preparations for the crucial climate summit meeting at the end of the month in Glasgow.
Former director, climate scientist Professor Chris Rapley, resigned from its advisory board on the second of October over the issue.
The museum's history of enthusiasm for fossil fuel partnerships with Shell, BP and Equinor has turned controversy into a crisis of credibility.
Last week protesters delivered a huge pile of bin bags to the museum to protest against links to coal.
