A Chinese social media mini-series is casting the British Museum into the limelight and stoking international calls for the repatriation of looted treasures. Named “Escape from the British Museum”, the viral three-part series has captured the imagination of millions by humanizing a jade teapot, a relatively recent addition to the museum’s collection, on a quest to return to China.
The runaway success of the series comes at a time of mounting pressure for the museum, as it reels from last month’s revelation that 2,000 of its items are “missing, stolen or damaged”.
