Today at the natural history museum in london, the Shell-sponsored exhibition of wildlife photography was targeted by activists from ‘rising tide’ and others. they used singing and leafleting to peacefully highlight the greenwash and irony of an oil company sponsoring a wildlife photography exhibition.
At lunchtime today, activists entered the grand hall of the natural history museum and suprised security guards by staging a melodic protest at the entrance to the shell-sponsored exhibition.
Starting with humming and building up to a rousing chorus it took guards a ltittle while to work out what was happening. Meanwhile leaflets were handed out to the bemused public. as Shell-hired security forcefully marched singers out of the building, More voices kept emerging, and it took several minutes to eventually clear the hall by which time a lot of leaflets had been handed out and the point had been made.
Outside the museum, more than 500 leaflets were handed to people attending the exhibition, and banners and posters showed the real work of Shell, rekindling the memory of Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Nigerian activists working to stop Shell’s blight of the the land and the environment in the Nigerian delta.
Public response was very favourable – the irony not lost on most people
One guard let slip that the security operation is costing Shell £2000 per day to protect the exhibition from likely protest

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
