Osborne believed Thiel's tapestry visit was private
George Osborne, as chair of the British Museum, revealed he believed a private viewing of the Bayeux tapestry for tech billionaire Peter Thiel was meant to be secret. The event took place while Osborne was on holiday, and Thiel, a supporter of Donald Trump and founder of PayPal and Palantir, was hosted at a VIP viewing before the tapestry’s public display. Osborne stated the museum did not receive any money for the visit and emphasized reliance on funding from companies like BP to keep the museum free, despite political protests and controversy over donor associations.
