At press time, the British Museum was facing increased criticism after claiming the mall kiosk would not be able to properly care for the prized Hello Kitty phone case.

[The British Museum] faces increased scrutiny after it was revealed that 2,000 artifacts were stolen from the museum by a senior curator over the course of years.

Thoroughly enjoyed the read, it truly sheds a light on the incredulity of the situation and the British stance

It doesn’t even address the fact that a senior curator had stolen over 2 000+ artifacts from them.

Yeah, those cultural artifacts were definitely safer at the British Museum than in their home countries 🙄

i think everyone can agree that the museum ultimately has the resources to care for the Hello Kitty Phone Case than the 5th grade girl.
