Gran donación al British Museum de Londres

3:36 p.m. | Updated Two foundations run by the Sainsbury family, the founders of one of Britain’s largest supermarket chain, has donated $38.5 million toward an expansion of the British Museum, the museum announced on Sunday. The gift is one of the largest private donations to the arts ever made in Britain and comes at a time when cultural institutions there are bracing for an expected 25 percent cut in state funding when the government announces the results of a spending review on October 20. The British Museum is building a $360 million wing, designed by Richard Rogers, to house temporary exhibitions and a conservation center. The government has pledged roughly $35 million toward the new building.
