Filming requests

No-fee filming only applies to coverage of the Museum and the collection, including temporary exhibitions and displays or filming that relates to a topical news item.

To arrange no-fee filming, email: communications@britishmuseum.org with the following information:

• Details of your programme and your contact details.
• Several potential dates and times for filming (as arrangements will be dependent on availability of Museum staff).

Filming inside the Museum building requires a greater level of organisation and will therefore incur a charge. Please contact the Commercial Filming Team directly for our rate card.

• All requests will be handled by the Commercial Filming Team via an enquiry sent to filming@britishmuseum.org.
• Please be advised that no filming may take place in the Museum at weekends unless cleared directly with the Commercial Filming Team.
• All film crews will be required to have public liability insurance when filming on site.
• Please don't contact Museum curatorial staff directly for filming as this is organised through the Commercial Filming Team.
