Over the weekend we took a short trip to the Bristol Museum to view the Banksy Art Exhibit. Banksy, the world famous elusive graffiti artist, had his first organized showing in what is speculated to be his hometown of Bristol, England. His art has popped up all over the world and up until now, without permission. Whether it be artistic graffiti or sneaking his own work into famous museums, his artworks are often satirical pieces on topics of politics, culture, and ethics.
It was a shocker to the art world when this exhibit opened with the staff of the museum, excluding the director, not even knowing about it and the public learning about it one day before the opening. And since the opening several weeks ago, thousands have flocked to the humble Bristol Museum, including us, to stand in line over an hour. It was worth the wait. Please enjoy this video.

Very interesting. What is up with the moving sausages?!? EEK! Was that a real man on the horse rocking? This is hilarious, our kids would have been scared.
What’s great about the sausage…the bologna (Oscar Mayer) squeaked as it rubbed against the aquarium glass.
And the man wasn’t real…although Julie thought he was at the beginning.
Pleasantly Disturbing.
Loved it, wish I could have gone with…that guy is greatness. I also liked the footage of “Bradsy” riding the electric horse. Was that tiring and hot wearing all that swat garb?

Oh, and I can ride my bike with no hands, but not without handlebars. I am in awe of said flowbot.
That was awesome. Wow. Loved it.
