“The World of Banksy”, the immersive exhibition in the world of Banksy

• The Banksy Museum is hosting a visual and sound exhibition dedicated to Banksy, the contemporary graffiti artist whose works of political significance are now known worldwide
• Banksy is the most famous street-art artist of the moment and yet no one knows who he is. The mystery around him adds to the strength of his political message
• On 1200m2 and 3 floors that reconstitute an urban universe, The World of Banksy unveils 42 frescoes by Bansky reconstituted life-size by a dozen graffiti artists from all over the world who wanted to keep their anonymity
• The exhibition also presents works from private collections
• To recreate the street context, specific to street art, the exhibition relies on the sound dimension with, for example, the hum of a helicopter to allude to repression
• The exhibition takes us from the Palestinian territories to New York, via London and Paris. Banksy’s works are a political act and denounce innocence crushed by force, or speak out against consumerism, the British monarchy, or the Israeli occupation
• In addition to the exhibition, The Walled Off Hotel Paris offers one of Banksy’s most surprising creations. It is a reproduction of the Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem in the heart of Paris. It is an astonishing setting that surprises by its originality and decoration
• This original exhibition should appeal to teenagers both by the form and by the rebellious message of the frescoes on display
• Child rate applies to children up to and including 12 years old
