The National Portrait Gallery (NPG) in London has announced the cutting of ties with its 30-year sponsor BP. The gallery has said that it will not renew its contract with the oil company when it comes up for renewal in December 2022. Although director Nicholas Cullinan has said that gallery is "hugely grateful" for the decades of money and sponsorship, increasingly loud pressure groups have maintained that the NPG should be a "forward-looking institution that’s on the right side of history”.
