And can you book a private viewing of the bayoux tapestry on the ground of "I don't like the public" or are you just being flippant linking the general venue hire page.

On the Bayeux Tapestry page [1] you can see that "there are no restrictions on dates or time slots for groups" and "For premium tours out-of-hours please contact traveltradebookings@britishmuseum.org" It may have been arrranged by a business associate or a personal assistant, but I bet Thiel spent less time thinking about getting access to this tapestry than you reading through the article.

No you book it on the grounds of "I have too much money" and then they don't ask questions.

  ...why would they do that? British Museum is a public insitution, is the director corrupt?

    Public institutions don't take donations in the UK? They certainly do in the US. Since when are donations equal to corruption? I certainly wasn't claiming that.

      They have a donation page and everything https://www.britishmuseum.org/support-us/donate https://www.britishmuseum.org/support-us/donate

      The article explicitly says Thiel hasn't made a donation. So if it's not in exchange for a donation, why is he being put forward for this? Ie - is the director of the museum(or someone else) receiving some benefit under the table to make this happen?
