Sammy Ofer Wing

Yesterday the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London, opened its new Sammy Ofer Wing, which cost £35m. Of this vast sum £20m was donated by shipping magnate and philanthropist Sammy Ofer and £5m from the Heritage Lottery Fund. I can't say I'm impressed by its first temporary exhibition High Arctic, but its heart is in the right place: showing the loss of glaciers due to global warming. Click the title link for a BBC News video with David Sillito and see what you think.
