Banksy Pulls Off His Biggest Exhibit To Date

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Banksy installed his most recent exhibition at the Bristol Museum completely in secret. Only a few top museum people knew about it and the museum told the public the museum was closed for a few days as it was being used for filming a movie. Banksy’s exhibit opened this morning.

What fun!

Banksy said: “This is the first show I’ve ever done where taxpayers’ money is being used to hang my pictures up rather than scrape them off.”

Staged in the council-owned City Museum and Art Gallery, Banksy v Bristol Museum features animatronics, installations and a sensory display. — bbc
