Visitors can marvel at pieces inspired by the notorious Girl With Balloon shredding moment, the intriguing works of Devolved Parliament, a fully “Banksified” London Underground carriage, a towering seven-foot elephant installation and the famous repurposed Nissan Micra, sold to the organisers by a Manchester teenager for the exhibition to recreate Banksy’s famous work of a rhino mounting the car. In the first few days of the exhibition opening, over 200 visitors have rated the exhibition 4.7/5 (source FeverZone).
