MACA Museum: Banksy & Street Art - The Early Years Art Exhibition

About this experience

MACA Museum Banksy & Street Art Exhibition Tickets The MACA Museum's "Banksy & Street Art: The Early Years" exhibition takes you through the formative period of one of the world's most recognised street artists. This carefully curated collection spans Banksy's creative development from 1989 to 2010, featuring rare drawings, stencils, photographs and paintings that chart his evolution from Bristol's graffiti scene to international fame. You'll see original artifacts including sketches, planning notes and photographs that reveal Banksy's creative process. The exhibition doesn't just focus on Banksy alone - it showcases influential works by Dondi White, Futura 2000 and Jean-Michel Basquiat, key figures from New York's 1970s and 80s street art movement. You'll also discover how Bristol graffiti pioneer Robert Del Naja, co-founder of Massive Attack, helped shape Banksy's early vision.
