It’s an Adidas publicity stunt, the boots will only be on display until after the CL Final has been played

Exactly what I was thinking, publicity stunt, though I imagined it more as an incentive to get people into the museum who otherwise would probably not be visiting.

If it's Adidas' doing, then I imagine the museum will be pocketing a fair bit of wonga.

Why such a short stay?

Will they be moved to a museum in Madrid after the CL final?

Probably be placed in the pyramids.

No. Sky doesn't joke.
They are to be placed in front of the pharaoh in room 61.
I will visit the British Museum when I'm in London in two weeks time and see for myself.

The British Museum. Only school kids and tourists go there anyway, who cares.
