One of four official posters produced for the Banksy vs Bristol Museum exhibition in 2009.
That summer Bristol Museum & Art Gallery was taken over by an extraordinary exhibition of works by the infamous local artist. Overnight, the venue was transformed into a menagerie of unnatural history, featuring among other things fish fingers swimming in a goldfish bowl, hot-dogs and chicken nuggets. Banksy's paintings were placed amongst the Old Masters, sculptures and other pieces were dotted incongruously throughout the museum displays. The main entrance was transformed into a sculpture hall, accompanied by a burnt out ice-cream van that pumped out an eerie soundtrack of warped tunes, whilst a giant ice-cream melted on its roof.
The show was an immediate hit, with some visitors queueing for as long as seven hours just to be a part of this unique phenomenon. Over one hundred works by the artist – most of which had not been shown before – were featured.
