The British Museum is set to host a glamorous fundraising event, the British Museum Ball, on October 18. This inaugural event aims to celebrate London's cultural prowess and establish a new international social event, with a star-studded guest list and a vibrant 'pink' theme inspired by India's colours and light.
The Ball will feature a silent auction and captivating performances by renowned musicians Anoushka Shankar and Jules Buckley. Expected attendees include prominent figures such as Zadie Smith, Naomi Campbell, Idris Elba, and Miuccia Prada. The event is cochaired by Isha Ambani, a patron behind the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai, and the museum's director, Nicholas Cullinan.
