According to Manu De Ros, the curator, the exhibition allows us to enter the artist’s universe and understand the themes he considers important.
An international team of painters works on the exhibition, reproducing the paintings with the same technique, details, and colors each time the exhibition moves to a new venue.
Nearly 100 items are on display, including murals from around the world, artworks, spectacular art installations, and Banksy’s larger-scale activities.

The exhibition, which opened its doors today on May 3, seeks to answer these questions. It will run until September in Budapest before traveling to Venice, Naples, and New York.
