(Via consafos) World famous Bristol (UK) based graffiti artist Banksy has taken over the local museum. If you dont know (where have you been?) Banksy is known not only for his creativity and his complete anonymity, but also for his ability to infiltrate and paint very difficult locations….the sides of boats, zoos, etc. He somehow secured co-operation with the curators of this museum and managed to replace all of the regular exhibits with his own work….some of it animatronic, some of it sculpture, some of it painting… all of it awesome. His website here. BBC coverage of the big switcheroo here. (video) Reblogged, but not with the reblog button as the picture didn’t display that way …
