Banksy’s Secret Exhibition: Banksy Versus Bristol Museum

Posted by Alex in Art on June 12, 2009 at 1:09 pm

After years of pulling stunts on museums around the world, the guerrilla artist Banksy has gone legit. Somewhat. He’s pulled off his most audacious stunt yet: a secret exhibition in Bristol’s City Museum and Art Gallery.

In a rare statement Banksy said: ‘The people in Bristol have always been very good to me – I decided the best way to show my appreciation was by putting a bunch of old toilets and some live chicken nuggets in their museum. [...]

He added: ‘This is the first show I’ve ever done where taxpayers’ money is being used to hang my ictures up rather than scrape them off.’

The exhibition – called Banksy Versus Bristol Museum – consists of more than 100 items and will run for three weeks.
