Today the two museums have joined in an e-business venture which has been described
as the “first commercial venture of its kind.” Investment in the venture is reported

The new company, which could even be floated, will be named within the next few 
weeks. It will offer and sell design and educational products, including posters,
furniture and household goods, but will not sell original works of art. The site
is due to go live in December 200, and is likely to include content and other services
from arts-related organisations .
