Banksy Unveils Largest Project Yet: "Banksy Versus Bristol Museum"

There's a reason why everybody and their mother is talking about Banksy's new summer show at the Bristol Museum: it's fucking rad.

In true Banksy fashion, no one knew where or what Banksy would be showing in this latest. After a killer solo show in NYC last fall, he really took it up a few notches with the theme of animal captivity, which he introduced the world to in his "Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill" showing, to include human rights as well.

This show is different for a variety of reasons: most notably, it takes over the entire three floors of the Bristol Museum. Banksy was allowed to add his irreverent pieces to infiltrate other classics areas. He remembers to keep it light and fun (even adding a bong to a set of Victorian tea ware). The effect is really stunning.

I love that after all the notoriety and acclaim this guy's gotten, he still refuses to buckle under public desire to reveal his true identity. Plus, his work remains close to the heartbeat of the streets which bred the popularity of his stencil works in the first place.
