Banksy Vs Bristol Museum

Banksy ( who's identity is still unknown) has executed his latest stunt in his hometown of Bristol!
Banksy was given free rein over Biristol Museum when a the shut the museum for two days and two nights and allowed him to cause havoc of the whole museum!
The exhibition open 13th July and will stay one until August 31st.( Free admission).

My housemate had the pleasure of going on the opening weekend and had to wait and hour and a half ( considering that she was there at 8 on a Sunday) but said it was definitely worth the wait. He has managed to attract and entice many different audiences with people travelling from all around to see his work.

The response I got was " he has managed to address real life controversial subjects and turn them into constructive art by adding humour and realism".

He is very inspiration and he encourage people to not shy away from subjects that are thought of as taboo and is not afraid to speak out.
Fingers crossed I will be visiting the exhibition for myself and cannot wait!

    Really disappointed that I didn't manage to visit this. Banksy always interests me whether it be for good or bad reasons. Thought that the Cans Festival he promoted in London was excellent but always find it hard to see how a lot of the work would cross over from the street to a gallery.
