yep looks good, I expect the queues to be very long for a bit though, which will be good for the museum.

I have a special treat for any of my mates who visit from elsewhere...I take them on a Banksy tour - graffiti, pint, graffiti

Defintiely not missing this one. It was even kept a secret from council officials!!

Our design studio stashed all the booze for the launch tonight - spent an hour lugging it all down to a van while his minions made phone calls and didn't help.

Refused tickets to the launch tonight and we were begrudgingly given 24 bottles of Carlsberg to share... EDIT: after being warned to NOT touch the booze as if we were some alchy thieving scum (all designers dressed in shirt and trousers)

I love celebrity!

I'd rather they re-installed the old archaeology gallery, TBH. 😕

Banksy's coming home

And now the chavy thieving Jolsa will be waiting for you to go to the exhibition, then him and his bike stalking crew of brizzleites will be nicking your bikes. 😉

Hmm, I may dig out the tracksuit bottoms seeing as though it's a special occasion...

Missed this thread earlier on today, saw the feature on the six o'clock news. Fantastic! I love Banksy's art, it's never failed to put a smile on my face, and to have a whole exhibition - wow!

Judging from the estimates of his worth, I should bloody well hope it's free anyway.

All of the City of Bristol museums and art gallery's are free to anyone at all(there are lots of sites round the city). They were forced to charge for a period some years back and the place became empty of visitors (I knew one of the security staff there).

I hope the Banksy display is better than the replacement Egypt display - which went from a load of interesting artefacts to mainly a bunch of computers showing stuff you could internet at home. Very sad, that the curators seemed to view computer images as more valuable than seeing the real thing. Still, these are the people who wanted to demolish one of the few remaining historic dock buildings to build a trendy new museum 🙁 Only a massive public outcry stopped them.
