Green Museum
In 2008 the museum became the first museum in London to be accredited by the Green Tourism Business Scheme, achieving a bronze award in the scheme, known in the capital as Green Tourism for London. The museum has continued to make changes to reduce electricity and water consumption, to improve recycling arrangements for waste, and to make purchasing decisions that take environmental considerations into account. At the end of 2010 the museum was re-assessed by the Scheme and awarded Silver status.

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or museum:
“the green hells of the sea
Where fallen skies and evil hues and eyeless creatures be;
On them the sea-valves cluster and the grey sea-forests curl,
Splashed with a splended sickness, the sickness of the pearl;”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“A Museum of fetishes would give special attention to the history of underwear.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
