A DAMNING REPORT

The British Museum is reportedly holding on to a report about the fiasco surrounding the use of the wrong stone for the museum’s new portico. “Although it was supposed to provide transparency and soothe anxieties over the portico affair, informed sources say its disclosures are so embarrassing to the museum that the museum’s chairman will not countenance its appearance until well after the Queen opens the Great Court on 6 December.” – London Evening Standard
