London museums are looking to acquire the Trump Baby Blimp

It was the undisputed star of Donald Trump’s recent visit to the UK, and now it seems like the Trump Baby Blimp could be here to stay.

The British Museum and the Museum of London have both reportedly expressed an interest in obtaining the massive inflatable likeness of the US President, for use either as part of specific exhibitions or within its permanent collection.

Kevin Smith, one of the project’s “Baby Sitters”, told the Standard that they were in discussion with the British Museum about linking the blimp to an exhibition about political satire curated by Private Eye editor Ian Hislop.

"It's great that many different museums recognise the cultural significance of the Trump Baby and have been speculating about where its eventual home might be,” said Smith.

A spokesperson for the British Museum confirmed talks were in progress, telling the Standard, “We have had a conversation with the makers of the Trump blimp about potentially displaying it on site to link to this show, but not as part of the exhibition. It is a tentative idea at this stage with no firm plans in place.”

The blimp, which is shaped like a giant orange blonde-haired baby clutching a mobile phone, is also reported to have caught the eye of the Museum of London.

The Trump Baby team are currently focused on devising a travelling itinerary for the blimp in order to haunt the US President throughout his planned international excursions.

“Our priority is to send the Trump Baby off on his global tour of trolling Trump in various parts of the world, and once that's underway we can start thinking of what his long term future might be," said Smith.
