While Barrick Gold’s investment in this high-profile partnership will be used to promote a more sustainable image of the company than its operations warrant, the museum's reputation is tarnished in this association that calls into question the regard it holds for its own mandate and values. It is not acceptable for a museum that aims to promote the respect of nature and people to join hands with a corporation with the track record of Barrick Gold, regardless of how lucrative this arrangement may be.
