Es Devlin has been appointed Artistic Director of the 2026 British Museum Ball, taking place on Saturday 17 October.

Her practice has always been about the transformation of shared space, about what happens when large numbers of people occupy an environment that has been carefully, almost invisibly, shaped to produce a collective experience.

Handing her the run of one of the world's most-visited institutions for a single night and asking her to create something memorable is an inspired one.
