Met Gala who? Tonight, the glittering gaze of the world’s cameras will be falling upon the British Museum as the inaugural Pink Ball kicks off.
As more than 800 of the world’s most famous faces arrive at Great Court and the Round Reading Room, to sip drinks by the champagne house Ruinart, they have an evening of excitement ahead of them: the chance to bid to have their pet’s portrait painted by renowned artist Tracey Emin, to explore the museum or settle in for a splendid dinner in the museum’s galleries.
