Trustees of the British Museum

The Trustees of the British Museum are a group of individuals responsible for overseeing the museum's governance, policies, and strategic direction. They ensure the institution preserves its collections, operates effectively, and remains publicly accountable. Trustees are appointed for their expertise, and they work to safeguard the museum's mission of sharing knowledge and culture with the public. They do not manage daily operations but provide high-level oversight and support to ensure the museum continues to serve as a leading center for research, education, and cultural preservation.
