Sneak peek at Banksy's Summer Show in Bristol

Thanks to twitter users, the location of Banksy’s Summer Show in Bristol 2009 has been discovered. It will be taking place at Bristol’s City Museum on Queen’s Road, with a private viewing on 12th June and public viewing from 13th June 10am (usual museum opening hours 10am – 5pm).
There has been no official press confirmation of this information yet, but I went to the museum this afternoon and managed to take the above photo through a small gap in the front doors. Clearly something street art related is being prepare in there.

The photo below shows a portaloo sculpture by Banksy in 2007 at Glastonbury. These look very similar to the ones photographed above. More proof needed?

  1. Quite a scoop Justin.

    Wonder how they will cope tomorrow night though, could get messy.

  2. I suppose that could happen, but personally I don’t see any point in going there tomorrow night. I mean if you haven’t got an invitation then there’s no way they’re going to let you in. I’ll be there early on Saturday for sure though.
