According to the Telegraph, a British news paper, the exhibit on
Charles Darwin at the American Museum of Natural History in New York
has been unable to attract any corporate sponsors.
"It is a disgrace that large companies should shy away from
such an important scientific exhibition," said a trustee
of another prominent museum in the city, who was told of
the exhibition's funding problem by a trustee of the AMNH.
"They tried to find corporate sponsors, but everyone backed
off."

Perhaps equally interesting, as far as I or Google News can tell, no
American news website has picked up the story, even though it's been
out there for three days. Is it that the story couldn't be confirmed?
To me it would certainly seem newsworthy.
