British Museum – I, Object

This new exhibition is curated by Ian Hislop from Private Eye magazine and Have I got News for You. He has selected a number of items which show the different ways in which people have protested over many centuries.
The exhibits include the head of a statue of Emperor Augustus that was buried by his enemies so that people would walk over him (which ironically meant it survived), a pussy hay from the women’s march, a copy of the King James Bible that says “tho shalt commit adultery” and a Banksy artwork that was placed in the British Museum without the museum noticing.
