At The Art of Banksy: Without Limits, you can get to know the artist better through several experiential areas and more than 200 of the artist’s works.

Step into the Art of Banksy
As you first enter into The Art of Banksy: Without Limits, you will be confronted with one of Banksy’s thought-provoking works.
The entrance to the exhibition features a Walled Off Hotel style lobby. The entrance installation draws inspiration from Banksy’s 2017 boutique hotel exhibition. The original installation is considered a key piece of social commentary on the Israeli-Palestine Conflict and is known for having “the worst view of any hotel in the world”.
Works at the Exhibition
Banksy is probably most well known for street art or murals that have been spray painted on to the walls.
An iconic Banksy artwork displayed around the exhibition is “Flower Thrower” which depicts a masked man throwing a bunch of flowers. The stance of the man is with a bouquet of flowers symbolises a call for peaceful resistance and reflects Banksy’s call to activism.
Another highlight is the sculpture “Phone Booth”, a replica of the classic red British Telecommunications phone booth which has been murdered with a pick axe.
Another section, Louise Michel, is an area inspired by the 30-metre-long former French Navy boat supported by Banksy that performs search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean.
Another iconic piece of Banksy art that you can find at the exhibition is Girl With Balloon.
You can also step into a completely immersive “infinity room” that features Banksy’s artworks that address politics. The room features moving images that will surround you at all sides with the artist’s thought provoking pieces.
