Dissent, subversion and satire at the British Museum

To compliment our rebellion themed display in the Discovery Library marking bonfire night and Guy Fawkes, you may be interested in visiting the British Museum exhibition I Object.


Running from 6 September 2018 to 2 January 2019, the exhibition brings together a collection of around 100 objects, hand-picked by Ian Hislop from Private Eye, that 'explore the idea of dissent, subversion and satire'.  Like Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators, the exhibits seek to show how through history people have always challenged and sought to subvert the established order to bring about change.
