Banksy new show Bristol City Museum Art Gallery

Details emerge a day earlier than expected for Banksy's new show in Bristol "Banksy vs Bristol Museum"

Admission is free!

Speaking exclusively to the Bristol Evening Post, Banksy said: "The people of 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.

"I could have taken the show to a lot of places, but they do a very nice cup of tea in the museum."

Special Report - Contemporary Art - Graffiti Gains New Respect - NYTimes.com

In March and April, a show of graffiti tags in the south-west gallery of the Grand Palais, one of the top Paris exhibition venues, was a media and public sensation.

“The lines around the building every day were even longer than those for the Warhol exhibition next door,” said Alain-Dominique Gallizia, a French architect who created the show, during an interview.

On 300 identical rectangular canvases, Mr. Gallizia commissioned matched pairs of paintings from leading street artists worldwide, to create a panorama of graffiti’s historical and geographical development from 1970s New York subway roots to modern urban landscapes as far-flung as Australia and Brazil.
