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:
“a shiver, a delight
that what is passing
is here, as if
a snake went by, green in the
gray leaves.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“The Museum is not meant either for the wanderer to see by accident or for the pilgrim to see with awe. It is meant for the mere slave of a routine of self-education to stuff himself with every sort of incongruous intellectual food in one indigestible meal.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
